Original Date Announced
July 21, 2025NPR reports that, in a letter dated July 15, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) request for access to Camp Atterbury, a National Guard base in Indiana, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a base in New Jersey. The Department of Defense (DOD) will allow DHS to house up to 1,000 detained immigrants at each location. The expansion of detention operations follows increased ICE arrests and an influx of funding from Congress, as well as the President's declaration of a national emergency at the southern border in January, which enabled DHS to gain access to DOD resources.
