Thanks to documents released by N.H. Gov Ayotte and reported by Boston Globe, we get a better understanding of how ICE is planning on scaling its detention centers using its new warehouses.

We also caught a bit of interesting coordination between USCIS and ICE in the metadata >>>

Communities in OK, MS, VA, and MN have stopped warehouse sales to ICE.

You can, too:

✅ Go to city council meetings & SPEAK UP during open comment
✅ Call your state delegates — local + state pressure is our best bet. The Fed Gov won’t save us.
✅ Register to vote now. The 2026 midterms are coming.

Who pays when the federal government buys big?

New data shows ICE has so far spent nearly $450M acquiring almost 5M sq. ft. of warehouse space. But for local communities, the "sale" comes with a hidden cost: potentially hundreds of thousands in lost state and local tax revenue.
