UPDATE FROM A CITY OFFICIAL RE: HOMELAND SECURITY FACILITY
From John Garcia, Assistant Field Office Director for Homeland Security: "This will be a public facing facility where someone will be able to come to request documents, inquire about pending immigration status, or receive general information about the immigration process. This facility will also house agents and can be used to process arrests, but no subjects would be housed there. It is not set up for that type enforcement action."
its a holding cell just like in a police station. in other words its still a detention center no matter what they want to call it
