Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to give away or sell seven empty warehouses it bought for $700 million to detain migrants as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping crackdown, according to a report.
Under ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the immigration agency purchased 11 facilities, so far totaling $1 billion. But now that her replacement, Markwayne Mullin, wants his department to go about immigration enforcement in a “more quiet way,” the agency is getting rid of seven of the sprawling facilities, The New York Times reports.
