Males detained by ICE to be housed in federal prisons, new memo says

Source: ABC News

February 14, 2025, 10:10 PM


Males detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be housed in units in several federal prisons around the country, according to the memorandum of understanding between the Bureau of Prisons and ICE, obtained exclusively by ABC News.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities that will house ICE detainees are the Federal Detention Center, Miami; Federal Detention Center, Philadelphia; Federal Correctional Institution, Atlanta; and Federal Correctional Institution, Leavenworth in Kansas; and Federal Correctional Institution, Berlin in New Hampshire, according to the memorandum.

BOP will not house female ICE detainees. "ICE shall only place detainees at institutions designated by the BOP and may not place detainees at institutions without specific authorization by BOP," according to the agreement.

The agreement, signed on Feb. 6, said that ICE will have at least two officers at every BOP facility that holds ICE detainees and the BOP will have final say on who gets into the facility.

One source who ABC News spoke with said housing ICE detainees has not been BOP's mission for some time, and suggested the staffing shortage might hinder the Bureau's ability to care for ICE detainees.


Staffing shortages usually means an uptick of violence.

If they're shoved into an already over-crowded population you can count on many being killed. Maybe that's what trump/musk are counting on.

... what Putin does in Russia.

""Political genius lies in extracting success even from the people's ruin." This quote from Volume Three is in reference to the actions of the Soviet Union's government. Putting citizens in labor camps caused the Soviet Union's government to profit, even at the expense of the health and prosperity of their citizens."

-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

They have other plans for the females. And any underage 'illegals' they manage to find.

Just like last time.
