Built on a former military base and run by a nonprofit tied to LaSalle Corrections, a private prison firm with a troubling track record, the facility bypasses the Office of Refugee Resettlement and operates under ICE’s direct control. Officials call it a “humanitarian effort” for “self-deporting” families, but advocates warn it could pressure vulnerable people into leaving without full understanding. Located beside a major deportation hub, the center could launch as early as next month — despite past scandals involving detainee deaths and health violations at LaSalle’s other facilities.
