ICE Prison Plan For NJ Military Base Updated

The Trump administration has quietly dropped its plans to house immigrant detainees at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, according to a new GAO report on detention spending. The report also flagged significant waste across ICE’s detention expansion efforts, including $7.1 million spent on unneeded meals at Fort Bliss and a potential loss on seven warehouse facilities purchased for $707 million that ICE now intends to sell.
