The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is purchasing warehouses to convert into detention centers for immigrants awaiting deportation, spending over $100 million on sites in Maryland and Arizona.

Bloomberg reports that 23 sites are either acquired or under negotiation, with one site in Dallas potentially housing 10,000 beds. The initiative reflects a shift towards a logistics-based approach to immigration enforcement, likening the detention facilities to data centers in their operational efficiency.
