US migration to hold 1000 detainees in Indiana after dealing with the prison system United States migration
Federal officials announced on Tuesday that the American immigration enforcement and customs (ICE) is working to expand its ability to detention by 1,000 beds in Indiana through a partnership with the prison system in the Middle Western State.
ICE will be held at the Miami Reform Center, which is the prison managed by the Ministry of Reform in Indiana. This step is part of the rapid expansion of US government prisons in immigration prisons after the Donald Trump spending bill has allocated about $ 170 billion to the ice, which is an extraordinary amount, which makes the agency more funded by funding from the law within the federal government.
Christie Naim, Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS), said that the Indiana facility will be called “Speedway Slammer”, after the opening of last month for the so -called “Alcatraz” migration prison in Florida, in cooperation with Ron Deantis, the Republican ruler in the state.
On Tuesday, Nom claimed that Indiana’s prison would include “some of the worst worst” people who do not have documents, echoing the repeated DHS claims about its enforcement targets. But the records of the remote prison in Florida Evergelides, which critics called the detention camp, casts doubts about these assurances.
Reports from the Miami Herald and Tampa Bay Times last month Find More than 250 people were detained in prison and who do not have criminal condemnation or suspended charges in the United States, although government officials and federalists say the prison was for “mentally disordered” and “mixed” facing deportation. These newspapers are also recently I mentioned A 15-year-old boy was sent without a criminal record to prison, which is not supposed to include young people-a mistake that claimed prison because of a “distorting” boy.
Florida defenders claimed that the circumstances in the Everglids prison were horrific, as the detainees were forced to sleep in the crowded centuries, as the drainage water copies led to flooding cages. While officials denied the demands of inhuman treatment, the Trump administration also strengthened the brutality of the facility, including with A widespread criticism decision To name the “Alcatraz crocodile, referring to the distant location in the wetlands surrounded by crocodiles, crocodiles, snake and mosquitoes.
It seems that the Ministry of National Security is using a similar tactic with the name “Speedway Slammer” in Indiana, which noem It was promoted Through a post on social media, saying: “If you are illegally in America, you may find yourself in Seridway in Indiana. Avoid arrest and self -deportation now.”
The Ministry of National Security did not immediately respond to questions about the timetable for the expansion of Indiana and how the facility will be operated. The Miami Reforming Facility is the maximum security prison at a previous air force, about 70 miles to the north of Indianapolis, and it has about 3,100 people, according to indystar newspaper.
Florida prison is managed by the State Emergency Management Department Find Several detainees were accommodated in the facility although they were not inserted into the ICE database.
“The state is following a comprehensive and cooperative approach to combating illegal immigration” and was “proud to work with President Trump and Minister Naim while removing the worst in the worst.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Indiana The alarms previously raised About the conditions of the Miami Reform Center. In the cases raised in 2021, the Security Civil Liberties Union said that some people imprisoned in separate housing were forced to live in. ProlongedIn the cells that live Electrical wires Hanging of the structures that were shocked in some cases.
“We will not tolerate animals that are held in such terrifying conditions. How can we tolerate people?” And Aclu He said In 2021.
Correctional officials refused to comment at that time. Annie Goller, an Indiana spokeswoman for the Ministry of Correction, did not answer questions about the conditions on Tuesday, but said in an email from her ministry who was working with the ruler “to partnership with the federal authorities to impose immigration laws,” adding: “Details about the partnership and how IDOC can support these efforts better.”
Indiana’s move comes as the Trump administration has increasingly sent immigration detainees to federal prisons that are the defendants of the criminal defendants. According to what was stated, these partnerships caused the chaos behind the bars, as the immigrants and their lawyers have informed horrific conditions and overcrowding, which exacerbates the problems of the long -term residents who spend the sentences.
Also on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that the Desantis administration in Florida is planning to build a The second immigration detention center.
Naim said that the Evergelides prison in Florida will be a model for The state -run migration centers. DHS said that the Trump bill will provide funding for 80,000 new ice.
