Summary
The feds are opening a new “staging area” in Alexandria, Louisiana, near the airport, designed to hold up to 528 families and kids for just days before deportation — aiming to streamline chaotic logistics. Managed by LaSalle Corrections, a private prison operator with a troubling track record, the facility avoids calling residents “detainees” but still serves as a deportation hub. Critics warn that families may be pressured into “self-deporting” and question how safety and humanity will be upheld under this controversial setup.
