ICE Issued Confident Announcements About Warehouse Purchases in Two States. Neither Was True. As the beleaguered agency rushes to open detention facilities across the country, it can't seem to get its own announcements right.

Much more here on ICE reversing course (and retracting their initial statements) on two proposed Trump prison camps, from the indispensible team at Project Salt Box:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement reverses course, says it hasn’t purchased facility in Lebanon β€’ Tennessee Lookout U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not purchased a detention facility in Lebanon, a spokesperson said Tuesday, reversing course.

The latest on Lebanon: after confirming last week it had purchased a building in Wilson County for detention of immigrants, ICE said on Tuesday evening it hadn't bought a building and the statement saying so didn't have proper approval.

SAID member Trae reads a statement from a lifelong Sumner County resident who lives in a mixed-status family. Her story is an example of how ICE presence and 287(g) contracts stoke fear within our communities.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.
