A New ICE Facility Could Speed Up Deportations of Families and Children
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. government plans to open a 528-bed detention center for migrant families and unaccompanied minors near Alexandria, Louisiana, aiming to expedite deportations. This facility will address logistical challenges faced when transporting children from shelters nationwide. Previously, incidents highlighted the difficulties of accommodating children close to airports. ICE refers to the Alexandria center as a 'preparation area,' claiming individuals will stay for a maximum of a few days. However, advocates worry that children may remain there for extended periods. The facility will be operated by LaSalle Corrections, which manages several detention centers across the country.
