With capacity for 528 people, it aims to avoid past chaos—like Guatemalan children rushed to Texas only to wait hours on tarmac. ICE calls it a “staging area,” not a detention center, claiming stays will be brief. But critics warn it’s a dangerous expansion of deportation infrastructure, managed by a nonprofit tied to LaSalle Corrections, a private prison firm with a troubling track record. While ICE insists detainees won’t be called prisoners or forced to wear uniforms, the facility’s location on a former military base and its August launch date raise serious concerns for families, especially since unaccompanied children are legally supposed to be handled by HHS—not ICE.
