NPR identified at least 16 shuttered facilities across a dozen states that have reopened as Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers since President Trump took office in January. Most were state or federal prisons, though some had been ICE detention centers. Almost all the properties were owned or operated by private prison companies, and many had a troubled past.
Most Americans are unaware that Trump has signed an EO, and they have assigned the contract, to build a 30,000 bed internment facility in Guantanamo Bay.
For perspective, the average America prison holds between 800 and 1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds 8300. Yet somehow MAGA thinks they need to hold almost four time the largest prison, and many times larger than the average prison.
