DHS appears to axe plan to construct immigration detention megacenter in small Georgia town
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has abandoned plans to convert an industrial warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, into a 10,000-bed immigration detention center following a lawsuit by the city. The project, part of the Trump administration’s efforts to expand detention capacity, would have significantly increased the town’s population and strained local infrastructure.
