## Resource

England Airpark is set to become a temporary holding facility for families and unaccompanied children deported back to their home countries, with 528 beds funded by a $530K annual lease and ICE’s renovation of old military barracks. Designed to streamline charter flights out of Alexandria, the move is framed as a business necessity to keep the airpark operational. Local residents are divided—some support the policy, others oppose it, with concerns over transparency and fear of retaliation. Officials insist this is a federal policy implementation, not personal opinion, and direct complaints to Washington D.C. The facility is expected to open in the coming months.
