Description | The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretly purchased large empty warehouses across the country to convert into immigration detention centers for thousands of immigrants arrested in raids. The plan involved buying 24 sites nationwide, with some already purchased warehouses facing local opposition and legal challenges. The initial plan has been paused by new DHS management, and some projects have been scaled back or put on hold due to protests and legal scrutiny. The warehouses remain empty, and there are concerns about overpayment and contracting irregularities. |
