DOGE finds an unlikely new cut as $47m plan for nation’s largest migrant detention center put on hold

The Trump administration has reportedly paused a $47 million plan to expand an immigration detention center in Georgia because the deal is under review by DOGE, Elon Musk’s federal cost-cutting program.

Charlton County administrator Glenn Hull toldThe Washington Post he had been informed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the government couldn’t move forward with the deal for the time being, scuttling a planned Thursday vote in the county on the contract.
