As the arrest of immigrants increased, the government was scrambling to ensure that it had a space to accommodate its detention and abide by President Donald Trump's commitment to expel it.
Trump's "Border Tsar" Tom Homan told NBC news that immigration and customs law enforcement needed a total of 100,000 beds, which is currently more than twice that of it. When Trump ordered the Pentagon and the Ministry of Land and Safety on Wednesday to order 30,000 beds in Guantanamo Bay, he said that he would pose a biggest threat to the security of Americans.
Jesse Franzblau, a senior policy analyst at the National Immigration Judicial Center, said the immigration detention room was used to detain people until they were deported, which was indeed the backbone of a large -scale deportation plan. "
"That's why we see (ice) floating. They are talking about the space that makes people attract people in these ice prisons." Franuzla said.
The Biden government was arrested 282 times a day in September 2024, which is the latest ICE data.
So far, the Trump administration's daily average is 791 for 7 days.
Homan said his instructions on officials and agents were "arrested as much as possible."
Although ICE's budget shortage was $ 230 million, the Trump administration still began a large -scale deportation of the country. Trump's first bill this semester The Laken Riley Act signed an ice cubes to ask for ice -free immigrants. , Theft, theft, or enter the store. " But this does not include new money to detain those additional immigrants. DHS needs to detain these immigrants in December.
As of January, ICE reported that it had at least 106 facilities across the country. The average capital funding funds are detained 41,500 people per day and cost about 3.4 billion US dollars.
This was the growth of the 2023 fiscal year. At that time, Congress provided funds to detain 34,000 people per day, cost about $ 2.9 billion. The House of Representatives is trying to formulate a budget bill, which will suppress Trump and his immigration. Republicans of Congress marked the price of about $ 100 billion.
DHS data shows that the cost of each ice bed is $ 57,378 per year, according to DHS data.
Under the first Trump administration, the number of daily detention reached 50,000 average daily height, but when COVID was attacked, it fell to about 20,000.
Thousands of immigrants detained each year are often locked in a huge facility network. Some of them are owned by federal government, state or local governments, but most of them signed from private entities.
The U.S. Citizen Freedom Alliance found that the Biden government was seeking to expand the space for detention nationwide.
The Trump administration has begun to supplement the space it uses.
DHS is using facilities in Buckley Space Force in Aurora, Colorado, to handle criminal charges or crimes arrested in the state ice operation. The military is available for this space and may be used to perform previous plans in Aurora.
The Trump administration has instructed the Ministry of Justice to investigate potential prosecutions or local officials who refused to enforce the Federal Immigration Law.
Some states, such as Illinois, have restricted or ended immigration detention. New Jersey prohibits the construction of a new immigration detention center, although a private company has filed a lawsuit to prevent the law. However, other places have long signed a contract with ICE with ICE.
SCOT Hildenbrand, a sheriff in Jaga County, Ohio, said his department has signed a contract with ICE for 15 to 20 years to hold an immigrant detention. Hildenbrand said that Bing brought 20 people to be arrested on weekends and raised the person's population to 58, but since then, Bing has evacuated 6 people from prison.
As far as he knows, none of the wanted local arrest orders.
"They called us and asked 'Are you 20 years old?' And bring them in." Hilde Bland told NBC news.
Hildenbrand said that the immigrant population in prisons is usually stable.
He said that his facilities have 182 beds and can usually receive up to 60 to 70 immigrants, depending on how many people in prison are not detained. The county pays $ 100 for each detention person every day.
The immigration detention system has always been the continuous goal of immigration supporters and government regulatory agencies, including lack of lawyers and unqualified medical services and costs and effectiveness issues.
Some of the Guantanamo Wan detention centers that Trump wants to use is a family that adults and young children of residences were knotted at sea because they tried to escape to the United States. It was separated from military prison in 2001 and terrorist attacks.
According to the IRAP report of the international refugee aid project, the detained refugee family includes people and children from Cuba. They tried to escape the Cuban government. The project recorded the conditions held in the report and some of the adults and children held there there. experience.
IRAP said in its report that former customers, detained refugees and former employees described the buildings that were imprisoned because they were worn by mold and sewage problems. They reported that children with children were living in single adults. Those who were detained could not call confidential calls with lawyers. If they were abused, they would be punished.
The report pointed out that many people who were locked in the Guantamo Bay facility must stay there until the third country agreed to accept them-even if they had family members in the United States-and retained for many years. Some countries (such as Cuba and Venezuela) do not accept the return of their citizens.
"The National Immigration Law" Vice President Raha Wala said: "We are already related to these detention facilities that have not provided basic sanitary care, reports of the report of SA rope during pregnancy." Center.
Walla talked about Trump's instructions: "We see the movement to Guantanamo, which is equivalent to the law of black holes."
