“The location near an international airport streamlines logistics and helps to facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our detention while we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, hold and remove illegal aliens of our communities,” he said.
The agency said the facility will expand the capacity in the northeast and the ability of the agency to manage a “growing” enforcement and disposal operation in the region.

DHS Secretary Kristi has since said that more than 20,000 illegal immigrants were arrested under the new administration in a few months.
The administration has tried to unleash ICE agents by removing restrictions that have been placed and ended by the Biden administration Temporary protected status For some nationalities.
It has also removed limits for the use of accelerated removal and has permitted the ice to revise the conditional status of migrants that have been brought in through humanitarian conditional release, so that they are opened for deportation.
The administration has concluded agreements with other countries to take back their illegal immigrants or to increase their own border security efforts.
FOX News Digital reported earlier this month that ICE has a little less than 42,000 beds available and that it is a greater capacity under the current administration.
