ICE to open immigration detention center in North Carolina by the end of 2026, says NYT

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to open an immigration detention center in northeastern North Carolina by the end of 2026 at the former Rivers Correctional Institution, a shuttered private prison. The facility, owned by GEO Group, could hold up to 1,400 detainees and faces opposition from North Carolina Governor Josh Stein and local activists. The site has a history of violence and misconduct, and its reopening aligns with ICE's efforts to expand detention capacity.
