flag The Trump administration drafts plans to convert warehouses into migrant detention centers, aiming to hold 80,000 immigrants across 23 sites.

flag The Trump administration is exploring plans to convert industrial warehouses into large-scale migrant detention facilities, aiming to hold up to 80,000 immigrants across seven major sites and 16 smaller ones, according to a draft Department of Homeland Security solicitation. flag Proposed locations include Stafford, Va., and Kansas City, Mo., with facilities designed to include housing, medical care, and legal services. flag The system, likened to a logistics network, seeks to streamline deportations by reducing long-distance transfers and improving processing efficiency. flag While DHS has not confirmed the plan, it follows a record high of over 68,000 people in custody, nearly half with no criminal charges. flag A $30 million design contract sparked backlash, prompting the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation to withdraw, citing tribal values. flag Concerns persist over staffing, safety, and the suitability of warehouse spaces for human detention, particularly regarding ventilation and medical care. flag The initiative remains in draft form, with no official timeline or confirmation of implementation.
