ICE Eyes Arizona Prison for Immigration Detainees: A New Facility in Marana, Controversy in Surprise
The Department of Homeland Security is considering a former state prison in Marana, Arizona, as a new site for immigration detainees. The Utah-based Management and Training Corporation, which previously ran the facility, is in talks with ICE to operate it. The proposed plan involves housing five hundred thirteen men and thirty-one staff members. However, the deal is not finalized yet.
In Surprise, a new one thousand five hundred bed center was purchased for seventy million dollars, but it was vandalized last weekend, causing a small fire. The site is still set to open later this year. Local leaders and lawmakers are seeking more details on these projects, while reactions to the new facilities are mixed, with some understanding the reasons behind border crossings.
