The state of Arizona has sued the Trump administration, seeking to block plans by DHS to turn a warehouse in the city of Surprise into an ICE jail. The warehouse is located across the street from a hazardous chemical storage facility. Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed the federal lawsuit Friday, joining growing opposition nationwide to Trump’s expansion of immigrant detention.
ICE is also planning to open another jail in Louisiana to detain immigrant children and their families at a former military base and one the nation’s most PFAS-contaminated sites. PFAS are known as “forever chemicals,” linked to cancer and other health risks.
Meanwhile, a Maryland federal judge temporarily blocked plans to repurpose a warehouse into an ICE detention center, as the Trump administration failed to conduct an environmental impact review. The decision could significantly delay Trump’s efforts of detaining immigrants at warehouses across the country.
