DHS buys two California detention centers for $950 million
Original: DHS buys two detention centers in California for $950 million
The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two detention centers in California for $950 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. The move significantly expands federal immigration detention capacity in the state, and is likely to draw scrutiny from California officials and immigration advocates who have opposed the growth of detention infrastructure.
Why now: The purchase signals a major federal investment in immigration detention at a time when immigration enforcement is a highly contested political issue.
