""ICE and CBP [Customs and Border Protection] are murdering people in the streets, tearing families apart, abducting our neighbors, and locking them in cages. Now they are attempting to buy and convert warehouses across our country into massive prison camps to expand their operations, despite strong local opposition in communities like mine.""
""This will only increase the serious human rights abuses and trauma on immigrant families including medical neglect, inhumane conditions, and rising deaths.""
""ICE detailed its plan to expand into 'non-traditional' facilities like warehouses in a February 2026 memo. The agency estimated that it would spend $38.3 billion on this new detention plan, which would be funded through allocations from Trump's 2025 Big Beautiful Bill Act.""
Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced the Ban Warehouse Detention Act to stop the Department of Homeland Security from using warehouses as immigrant detention centers. This legislation seeks to hinder President Trump's deportation efforts. Tlaib criticized ICE and CBP for their actions against immigrants, claiming they cause severe human rights abuses. ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion on new detention facilities, funded by Trump's 2025 budget. DHS has already invested over $1 billion in warehouse acquisitions for this purpose.
