Mesa Gateway Airport Warns of ICE Detention Facility Overcrowding

Mesa Gateway Airport warns ICE detention facility of overcrowding, violating lease and fire codes. The facility, with a max occupancy of 203, has been reported to house up to 777 detainees, far exceeding its listed capacity of 157. This issue came to light after investigations by Arizona Mirror and a surprise visit by Congress members in March. ICE blames a measles outbreak, but numbers remain high. The city plans to monitor the situation, while Congress pushes for new legislation to cap short-term holds and demand better records.
