Proposed ICE Detention Facility in Salt Lake City

planned

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement purchased a warehouse in Salt Lake City near 6000 West and 300 South to convert into an ICE detention facility. The facility will meet regular detention standards and undergo community impact studies and due diligence to avoid hardships on local utilities or infrastructure. The project aims to provide a long-term, effective detention center that is a good use of taxpayer dollars. The facility is part of a broader plan to renovate and operate eight large-scale detention centers by November 30, 2026, housing between 7,000 and 10,000 detainees.
