    August 5, 2025

    DHS announced a partnership with the state of Indiana to expand ICE detention space by using 1,000 beds at the Miami Correctional Center, a state prison which the press release nicknames the "Speedway Slammer." Use of the state prison for immigration detention is funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Indiana Governor Mike Braun states that Indiana is "proud" to partner with DHS and that Indiana "will continue to lead the way among states" on immigration enforcement.

    This is the second state partnership to expand ICE detention space, after the Alligator Alcatraz detention center in Florida.
