ICE says it’s opening its first new immigration detention facility under the Trump Administration, expanding its capacity to house detainees and easily deport them through a deal involving a privately owned jailhouse in Newark.

The Trump administration is expanding its immigration detention capacity, reopening a 1,000-bed detention center in New Jersey and adding beds at other privately owned facilities around the country.

The leadership change comes as the president aims to make good on a promise of mass deportations and arrests of undocumented immigrants across the United States.

The number of detainees in ICE custody without a criminal conviction or pending criminal charges increased by more than 1,800 in February.

Delaney Hall, which previously housed immigrants from 2011 and 2017, will be the first facility to open under President Donald Trump's administration.
