The Trump administration plans to open up a new migrant holding facility next to an airport hub in Louisiana, potentially allowing the federal government to speed up deportations<\/a> of families and unaccompanied children.<\/p>\n

A holding facility with 528 beds is set to open in Alexandria, Louisiana<\/a> near the Alexandria International Airport (AEX), according to The Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proximity to the airport is believed to make it easier for federal immigration officials to house illegal immigrants and unaccompanied children during final flight preparations, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is describing the new Louisiana facility as a “staging area” and not a detention center, saying migrants would only be held there for a few days at most.<\/p>\n

“England Airpark is a\u00a0staging facility\u00a0for deportations. A staging facility is\u00a0where illegal aliens await their deportation flight to their destination country or transfer to a detention facility,” a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, which deferred to DHS.<\/p>\n

Airpark officials at the airfield where the structure is being built said the facility is a “humanitarian effort” for families who are “self-deporting,” but immigration advocates say families and unaccompanied children sometimes decide to leave due to pressure or a lack of an understanding of their options, The AP reported.<\/p>\n

The facility would be stationed next to the nation’s largest hub for deportations.<\/p>\n

More than 4,400 immigration enforcement flights came to and from the Alexandria International Airport last year, according to data from the ICE Flight Monitor, an initiative of Human Rights First.<\/p>\n

ICE documents say families and children at the facility “are in the legal custody of ICE and can only be released at the direction of ICE.”<\/p>\n

The agency has told contractors that families at the facility should not be referred to as prisoners, detainees or inmates, records show.<\/p>\n

Contractors were instructed not to utilize bars or cages when transporting families and unaccompanied children. The facility will not be required to take headcounts and should allow families to wear their own clothes, the agency said.<\/p>\n

Unaccompanied children are typically not taken to facilities overseen by ICE and must instead be placed in the care of state-licensed shelters and foster care programs, which are run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the Department of Health and Human Services, but that agency is not involved in the new facility\u2019s operation, a spokesperson at the airfield where the facility is being built told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The facility would be run by a nonprofit arm of LaSalle Corrections, a private prison contractor, according to Ralph Hennessy, executive director of the England Airpark Authority, who said it could be operational as early as next month.<\/p>\n

“These are people that are volunteering to go back home and they\u2019re going back home as a family unit,” Hennessy told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

ICE signed a contract late last month to build the facility at the former military base near Alexandria International Airport, Hennessy said.<\/p>\n

The facility would operate as a 72-hour holding center for migrants awaiting deportation<\/a>, records show, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

LaSalle Corrections runs several private prisons and federal immigration detention centers throughout the south, including the “Louisiana Lockup” inside the state\u2019s maximum-security prison in Angola.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The official contractor for the new ICE holding facility will be the company’s nonprofit arm, the LaSalle Family Foundation, but LaSalle Corrections itself will be involved in operating the holding facility and ensuring compliance, according to the company\u2019s chief financial officer, Tim Kurpiewski.<\/p>\n

Since April, two detainee deaths have been reported at a LaSalle-run ICE facility in the state.<\/p>\n

Winn Correctional Center was also found last month to have violated standards regarding environmental health and safety, food service, use-of-force, medical care and other concerns, according to the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Office of Inspector General.<\/p>\n
