As part of President Donald Trump's plan to deport every single undocumented immigrant—and perhaps tens of millions of citizens and legal residents—the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) planned to spend billions of dollars buying up industrial warehouses across the country.
The stated purpose was to convert them into detention centers to house migrants targeted for deportation, with the ultimate goal of expanding total detention capacity to 100,000.
