October 11, 2025The Intercept reports that ICE has resumed using the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia. In 2021, the Biden administration stopped detaining immigrant women at the facility following reports of medical misconduct. The Senate Subcommittee on Investigations released a report in 2022 finding that "female detainees appear to have been subjected to excessive, invasive, and often unnecessary gynecological procedures" and that proper consent was not obtained from the immigrant women subject to these procedures.

2025.12.18 NPR - ICE is reopening shuttered prisons as detention centers
NPR reports that ICE is reopening as detention centers empty prisons that had previously been shut down for reasons such "staffing issues, allegations of abuse, [and] even simply that there are fewer people in prison today than a few decades ago." NPR found at least 16 previously shuttered facilities that ICE has reopened as detention centers since January 2025, including the Irwin facility. Of concern, "[m]any of these prisons faced allegations of poor conditions while they were open, and they're reopening at a time when the government has cut oversight measures."
