The U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is developing seven centers to speed deportations, per Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents reviewed by the Washington Post.
The plan would house 80,000 immigrants at seven facilities, with Stafford County, Virginia site, using a hub-and-spoke model.
Congress allocated over $100 billion to Homeland Security, including $45 billion for immigrant detention.
Concerns persist about detainee humane treatment, as nearly half of deported individuals lack convictions.
