Description
Description | A warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, purchased by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planned to be converted into one of the nation's largest immigrant detention centers. The facility is intended to house 7,500 to 10,000 people, similar to other ICE hubs in Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. The project has raised concerns about the strain on city resources such as water, sewer, and police operations. The purchase was finalized on March 11, 2026, for $145.4 million. The project status is uncertain due to ongoing reviews and leadership changes at the Department of Homeland Security. |
