"Together, the 3 detention centers can hold about 4,000 people, potentially expanding ICE’s presence in the states of LA & MS by 50%."
With the opening of these facilities ICE has pushed its detention population to an all-time high of 54,000 people. But why these states?

Concentrating asylum seekers in Southern states makes it particularly likely that they will lose their cases because of the region’s harsh judges & shortage of immigration lawyers.
There are not enough judges in Louisiana to hear the new cases, and there are no immigration courts in Mississippi.
It's a system built to fail.

It's a deportation machine perfectly designed.
