ICE plans to sell or give away seven warehouses it bought for $700 million to detain migrants, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. The decision, a major reversal, is a rejection of a signature initiative under the previous homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem. trib.al/o5iUEu3
Huge about-face. After buying warehouses with tax dollars, at inflated prices, ICE will now try to dump them. Documents obtained by @haleaziz.bsky.social show that a NJ warehouse slated to become a 1,500-bed detention center is on the offload list. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...
A Somali soccer referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was denied permission to enter the U.S. to participate in the World Cup received a hero’s welcome from a cheering crowd at the airport upon his return to his home country.
For those interested. The locations include:
Romulus, Michigan
Social Circle, Georgia
Flowery Branch, Georgia
Hamburg, Pennsylvania
Tremont, Pennsylvania
Salt Lake City
Roxbury, New Jersey
The ICE site in Roxbury, New Jersey, is on this list, according to the NYT.
The U.S. government -- in other words, the public -- paid nearly double the market rate for that site in Morris County.

ICE paid $145 million for the building in March, well above its $97 million value.
