flag A former Arizona prison will reopen as an ICE detention center housing up to 775 migrants, despite no contract and local opposition.

flag A former Arizona state prison in Marana is set to reopen as an ICE detention center operated by MTC, with federal documents showing plans to house up to 775 detainees—over 50% above its intended capacity—despite no formal contract yet awarded. flag The facility, purchased by MTC for $15 million in 2025, will serve ICE’s expanded interior enforcement goals under President Trump’s immigration agenda, supported by a $45 billion funding boost. flag Local residents and lawmakers oppose the project, citing lack of transparency, concerns over community impact, and fears of turning Marana into a “prison town.” While MTC claims it will prioritize safety and local jobs, details on staffing, operations, and space accommodations remain unclear. flag The contract remains active until March 13, with no opening date set.
