DHS Wants to Build Two ICE Centers in PA

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

The Trump administration is pushing for the creation of more immigrant detention centers and is eying Pennsylvania for this expansion. The Department of Homeland Security purchased two warehouses for these efforts. But communities and politicians across the Keystone State are pushing back on these plans. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Spotlight PA reporters Gabriela Martínez and Kate Huangpu about why these plans have been so unclear and if local municipalities and the state have a say in how these facilities operate.  Read more of Gabriela's reporting on the quality of life across the commonwealth here.  Read more of Kate's reporting on Pennsylvania government here.
