Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday that ICE has scrapped its plans to repurpose a Romulus warehouse into a large detention facility in the metro Detroit city. Those plans were first reported by the New York Times, which noted that purchased warehouses in Michigan and New Jersey would specifically be “offloaded” — sold or given away.
“Romulus simply was not – and never would be – the appropriate place for a large-scale detention center,” Nessel said in a press release from her office. “The decision to sell the facility is a victory not just for the residents of Romulus whose day-to-day life would have been negatively impacted by its presence, but for the entire metro region. The ICE warehouse proposal was every bit as ill-conceived as it was cruel and unnecessary, and I am relieved that this chapter is coming to a close.”
Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight thanked Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin for listening to the city in its opposition to the detention facility
