Federal officials plan to sell or offload several warehouses bought for immigrant detention. This move includes a site in Romulus, Michigan. The decision follows lawsuits and rising costs. Officials also paused plans for new facilities in Schuylkill and Berks counties, Pennsylvania. Reports confirm the shift after financial and legal backlash. The government purchased that buildings to hold more migrants facing deportation. Courts and critics challenged the contract terms and total expense. The pause in Pennsylvania comes after state officials raised objections. Federal sources said to reporters the Romulus property will be avoided. This action limits the scope of the controversial warehousing effort. The changes address public concern over where detainees are held.
