Trump Administration Planning ICE Mega Jails in Warehouse Facilities

ICE is shrinking its detention facility network to focus on large warehouse jails across multiple locations including Pennsylvania and Arizona. The agency has approached various commercial real estate companies and billionaire-owned entities to acquire properties for this purpose. Several potential sellers, including companies owned by billionaires Jimmy Pattison and Ed Roski, have declined to sell due to public pressure and community opposition.
