In exchange, the airpark will receive $530,000 annually, plus ICE will cover renovation costs. The move has sparked heated local debate: some support it as a necessary step, others condemn it as unjust, and many fear speaking out. Officials insist they’re just following federal policy, urging critics to address Washington, D.C. instead. The facility is expected to open in months, igniting ongoing community tension.
