Federal officials plan to offload some warehouses purchased for immigrant detention

Federal officials are now planning to sell off some of the warehouses they bought for immigrant detention, abandoning a controversial plan to house up to 10,000 people in a single location. This move signals a retreat from former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's ambitious $38-billion strategy to rapidly expand detention capacity. The decision reflects ongoing debates about the ethics and logistics of large-scale detention facilities, highlighting the complexities and shifting priorities in U.S. immigration policy.
