Planned ICE Detention Center in Marana: Insights from DHS Documents

New information from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents has surfaced, revealing plans for a potential ICE detention facility in Marana, Arizona. This facility, outlined in an extensive 86-page Performance Work Statement, is set to accommodate a considerable number of male detainees.

The official document, which can be found on a federal government database here, indicates that the center will have the capacity to detain "approximately 513 male detainees." However, additional notes within the database imply that the facility might ultimately be designed to support up to 775 individuals.

Town representatives responded to inquiries from AZPM, indicating they were previously unaware of these developments.
