The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to expand immigration detention capacity with new facilities in multiple states. Florida is preparing to build a second immigration detention center to complement the existing facility known as 'Alligator Alcatraz.' Meanwhile, Indiana is set to open a federally backed 1,000-bed detention facility called 'Speedway Slammer.' This development follows the recent passage of a reconciliation bill aimed at increasing resources for immigration enforcement. The Archdiocese of Miami has also received permission to provide continuous services at the Alligator Alcatraz center. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the establishment of the Speedway Slammer facility in Indiana as part of the administration's efforts to manage migrant detention more effectively.
