ICE Detention Expansion Meets Cross-Party Resistance; Maryland AG Sues Over Facility

Community resistance to ICE's $45 billion detention expansion is blocking new facilities across the political spectrum. Maryland's AG filed suit to halt an 825,000 sq ft warehouse in Williamsport (pop. 2,000) projected to hold 1,500 detainees; a judge granted a temporary restraining order. Similar pushback emerged in Roxbury, NJ and Oklahoma City. The administration targets 100,000+ detention beds in 2026, up from 73,000+ currently.
