The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has commenced the disposal of seven industrial warehouses previously acquired for the expansion of immigration detention capacity.

國土安全部（DHS）已開始處置七座先前為擴展移民拘留能力而收購的工業倉庫。

The strategic reversal follows a $1 billion initiative by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase nationwide detention capabilities. The divestment affects sites in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Utah, and New Jersey. In Social Circle, Georgia, the federal government acquired a facility for $128 million—significantly exceeding its $29 million assessment—with plans to house 10,000 detainees. This proposal prompted local opposition due to projected strains on potable water, sewage systems, and emergency services, eventually leading to a lawsuit by the municipality.

這次策略性反轉發生在美國移民及海關執法局（ICE）投入 10 億美元增加全國拘留能力之後。此次撤出影響的地點包括密西根州、喬治亞州、賓夕法尼亞州、猶他州與紐西蘭州。在喬治亞州的 Social Circle，聯邦政府以 1.28 億美元收購了一座設施——遠高於其 2,900 萬美元的評估價值——計畫用以安置 1 萬名拘留者。由於預計會對飲用水、污水系統及緊急服務造成壓力，該方案引起了在地反對，最終導致市政府提起訴訟。

Across other jurisdictions, institutional opposition manifested through litigation and regulatory interventions. In New Jersey, the state Attorney General and Governor joined Roxbury Township in legal action, asserting that the facility's logistics-based design was incompatible with human habitation. Similarly, in Utah, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County filed suit citing zoning violations and threats to the water supply. In Pennsylvania, the administration of Governor Josh Shapiro and environmental regulators challenged the conversion based on wastewater infrastructure deficiencies.

在其他司法管轄區，制度性的反對則透過訴訟與監管干預呈現。在紐西蘭州，州檢察長與州長加入了 Roxbury Township 的法律行動，主張該設施基於物流的設計不適合人類居住。同樣地，在猶他州，鹽湖城與鹽湖郡以違反分區規定及威脅水源為由提起訴訟。在賓夕法尼亞州，州長 Josh Shapiro 的政府與環境監管部門則針對廢水基礎設施不足而對該轉換計畫提出質詢。

Concurrent with these developments, a policy discourse has emerged in Washington County, Maryland, regarding the consistency of regulatory oversight. Local activists have posited that the criteria currently being considered for a moratorium on data centers—specifically energy consumption and infrastructure pressure—should be applied analogously to the remaining ICE warehouse project near Williamsport. While the Washington County Board of Commissioners has declined to comment on these comparative frameworks, the tension underscores a broader conflict between federal land-use prerogatives and local municipal autonomy.

與此同時，馬里蘭州華盛頓郡出現了一場關於監管監督一致性的政策討論。在地活動人士認為，目前考慮暫停數據中心建設的準則——特別是能源消耗與基礎設施壓力——應類比適用於威廉斯波特附近剩餘的 ICE 倉庫項目。儘管華盛頓郡委員會拒絕就這些對比框架發表評論，但此緊張局勢凸顯了聯邦土地使用特權與在地市政自治權之間更廣泛的衝突。

While seven sites are being liquidated, ICE continues to pursue four projects in Texas and Arizona, and one in Maryland, as local governments seek standardized regulatory scrutiny for large-scale developments.

儘管有七個地點正被處置，但 ICE 仍繼續在德州與亞利索那州推動四個項目，以及在馬里蘭州推動一個項目，而在地政府則尋求對大規模開發進行標準化的監管審查。
