The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has initiated a significant expansion of its detention network, purchasing multiple warehouses across the country, including a recent $87 million facility in Berks County. This move is part of a broader strategy, endorsed by the Trump administration, to convert large commercial warehouses into detention centers. However, this expansion has sparked significant resistance from local communities, with protests occurring in areas such as Surprise, Arizona, and Hutchins, Texas, where residents have raised concerns over the implications of having federal detention sites nearby. Lawmakers are calling for transparency and answers regarding the plans for these facilities, as ICE continues its controversial warehouse-buying spree amid ongoing debates about immigration policies and detainment practices.
