Description
Description | The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency plans to buy and retrofit commercial warehouses across the United States to convert them into immigrant detention facilities to increase deportation capacity. The plan involves purchasing 11 warehouses for about $1 billion. However, the project faces delays due to legal challenges over the lack of environmental impact reviews, which are required under the National Environmental Policy Act. The administration initially argued the renovations were exempt from such reviews but is now conducting environmental assessments for at least two sites after a federal judge blocked a Maryland project. |
