Summary
ICE is eyeing a major expansion at the old Marana prison in Arizona, turning it into a detention center that could house over 1,300 people — up from 506 — despite being in a flood zone. The facility, recently bought by a private company, now faces scrutiny from local groups alarmed by the scale of the plan and lack of transparency. ICE insists renovations won’t require new construction or harm the environment, but critics warn of a dangerous uptick in deportations. The public has until June 18 to submit feedback via email.
