- Salt Lake City lawsuit is latest against DHS' plan to use giant warehouses to detain immigrants
Salt Lake City and its county have sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over its plan to convert a large warehouse into an immigrant detention facility. The lawsuit claims DHS violated federal law by failing to conduct environmental reviews or consult local officials before purchasing the $145.4 million warehouse. Similar legal challenges are ongoing in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia.
