From the City of Social Circle, Georgia:
DHS stated that they “will fully implement a new detention model by the end of Fiscal Year 2026”. The plan is to transition the ICE detention system from private operations to government-owned facilities. DHS plans to implement a “Hub and Spoke Model,” in which four smaller processing facilities will feed into the larger detention facilities. The proposed facility in Social Circle is identified as one of eight “mega centers” that will be located across the nation. Overall, ICE intends to reduce its number of facilities from approximately 300 to 34 nationwide. The facility in Social Circle is expected to house anywhere from 7,500 to 10,000 detainees and will be constructed using a modular design so that capacity can be scaled up or down as needed.
When building a concentration camp system in 2026, you still have to deal with water supply and sewer discharge for your “mega centers” even if the folks near the proposed “mega centers” otherwise love the idea.
