It’s official: Minnesota will have a new ICE detention center

CoreCivic has secured a five-year federal contract with ICE to reopen the Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minnesota, as an immigrant detention center holding up to 1,600 detainees. The $75 million annual contract aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to expand detention capacity for increased deportations, with operations expected to start in late 2024 and reach full capacity by 2027.
