ICE Plans New Family Holding Facility in Louisiana

The Trump administration plans to open a 528-bed holding center for migrant families and unaccompanied children. The facility will house individuals awaiting removal from the United States. Officials will locate the new center next to a Louisiana airfield. This airfield has become the nation's largest hub for deportation flights.

The new facility intends to house both families and unaccompanied children. The combined capacity for these groups will be 528 individuals. This development signals a strategic placement near existing infrastructure for removals.
