"Secretary [Kristi] Noem aims to work with officials on both sides of the aisle to expand detention space to help ICE law enforcement carry out the largest deportation effort in American history.""
"The East Bay women's federal prison known as the Federal Correctional Institute in Dublin (FCI Dublin) closed in April 2024, having gained the ugly nickname of the rape club after a stomach-churning set of sexual abuse claims from the women incarcerated there was revealed to be so bad that the warden and were sentenced to prison for sex crimes."

Immigrant-rights advocates remain skeptical and warn private prison acquisition could still enable detention at the site.
