Trump Admin Eyes Mega Warehouses for Deportations

The Trump administration is seeking contractors to convert massive industrial warehouses into large-scale staging centers designed to speed deportations and reduce the chaos of today's ad hoc detention network, according to a report.

Under the proposal, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would shift from shuttling detainees around the country wherever space exists to a more deliberate "feeder" pipeline, according to a draft solicitation reviewed by The Washington Post.

Newly arrested illegal immigrants would be booked into processing sites for several weeks, then transferred into one of seven large warehouses holding roughly 5,000 to 10,000 people each, where they would be staged for removal.
