Before leaving her post as secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem purchased a massive warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, for $145.4 million – more than half of its tax-assessed cost estimated, to be used for immigration detention, according to a report.
Seeking to expand immigration detention space, the department bought the 833,000-square-foot warehouse located roughly seven miles from the Great Salt Lake on March 11, days after President Donald Trump announced Noem’s departure.
