Democrats Propose Ban on ICE Using Warehouses for Immigration Detention
Democrats have introduced a bill to prohibit ICE from converting warehouses into immigrant detention centers, citing concerns over human rights abuses and increased trauma for immigrant families. The proposed legislation, the Ban Warehouse Detention Act, aims to counter ICE's expansion of non-traditional detention facilities, which is estimated to cost $38.3 billion and is funded through the 2025 Big Beautiful Bill Act.
