ICE plans to offload Berks County and Schuylkill County warehouses, report says
The Department of Homeland Security plans to sell two Pennsylvania warehouses purchased for immigration detention, including a 1.3-million-square-foot facility in Schuylkill County and a 520,000-square-foot site in Berks County. Local communities opposed the projects due to infrastructure challenges, and the properties no longer generate tax revenue after federal acquisition.
