Reported: ICE considers buying large warehouses to expand immigrant detention capacity

  1. Original Date Announced

    November 7, 2025

    NBC reports that the administration may buy warehouses and retrofit them as immigration-detention facilities. This would significantly expand detention capacity, as these warehouses are "on average more than twice the size of current ICE detention facilities." ICE has not determined specific warehouses but is considering those near airports in the southern U.S. DHS and White House officials said that use of warehouses would "increase efficiency" as immigrants are most often deported from these airports.
