Senator Wicker opposes DHS plan to turn Byhalia warehouse into ICE detention center over development and community impact concerns.
Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi, has formally opposed the Department of Homeland Security’s plan to convert a warehouse in Byhalia into an ICE detention center, citing concerns over economic development, infrastructure strain, and community impact.
In a letter to Secretary Kristi Noem, Wicker argued the site was intended for industrial use to attract jobs and investment, and that repurposing it for detention could hinder local growth and overwhelm limited healthcare and public services.
He urged DHS to reconsider the project and requested updates on future contracting plans in Mississippi.
