ICE Dallas office opening its newest detention facility in West Texas




ANSON, Texas — The field office director (FOD) for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) for Dallas, Texas, is announcing a new ICE detention facility that’s officially opening during the week of Dec. 9.

FOD Marc J. Moore explained that the new ICE facility was actually built in 2010 by the state of Texas to house inmates for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. However, the facility has never been used.

“This Bluebonnet Detention Center acts as a win-win for the state and federal governments” said Moore. ICE needed additional high-quality bed space to accommodate the huge influx of Central Americans who arrived at the U.S. Southern border this year. And Jones County, Texas, now has its nine-year building investment finally put to good use.” Moore oversees ERO operations in 128 counties in North Texas and the state of Oklahoma.

YAY !!!   Finally !!!  I have long argued that there is plenty of prison space out there, and that we shouldn't ever be releasing illegal border crossers.  btw, we have a entire federal prison here in Atlanta that isn't being used right now.  Fill 'er up!

Too close to land and not enough great white sharks in the surrounding waters.

How about Siberian gulags?  We could contract with Russia to house our detainees at half the cost of housing them here.
