Federal officials are reconsidering their plan to use warehouses for immigrant detention. A key part of a $38-billion plan to expand detention capacity is being abandoned. This plan was initially intended to hold a large number of people.

The decision marks a retreat from a proposal to use warehouses to detain up to 10,000 people at a single site. The plan was part of a broader effort to rapidly increase detention capacity. Further details on this development are available from KPRC 2 / Click2Houston, including information on the implications of this decision and the factors that led to the change in plans.
