Warehouse owner refuses to sell property to ICE for detention center
Feb 16, 2026 · Hutchins, TX

The owner of a Dallas County warehouse in Hutchins that ICE planned to use as a mega detention center housing up to 9,500 migrants announced it will not sell or lease the property to the federal government. Majestic Realty Co., a California-based company, made the decision after community opposition and pressure from local officials and religious leaders who warned the facility would devastate the small town.
