| [FoxNews] Miami Correctional Center expansion part of 80,000 ICE detention bed initiative under 'one big, beautiful bill' Fox News’ Madison Scarpino reports on migrant deportation flights departing from ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ The Heritage Foundation's Lora Ries joins ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss the Trump administration’s lawsuit against a sanctuary city. The "Speedway Slammer" will be located at the Miami Correctional Center in Miami County, which is in between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. The name is a nod to Indiana's racing culture, such as the annual Indianapolis 500. "We are proud to work with President Trump and Secretary Noem as they remove the worst of the worst with this innovative partnership," Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in a statement on Tuesday. "Indiana is taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to combating illegal immigration and will continue to lead the way among states." The funds are sourced from a reconciliation bill signed by President Donald Trump last month, dubbed the "one big, beautiful bill." According to DHS, it provided the funding for the 287(g) program, which fosters collaboration between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local governments, in addition to 80,000 ICE detention beds. "COMING SOON to Indiana: The Speedway Slammer. Today, we’re announcing a new partnership with the state of Indiana to expand detention bed space by 1,000 beds," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. "Thanks to Governor Braun for his partnership to help remove the worst of the worst out of our country. If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana’s Speedway Slammer. Avoid arrest and self deport now using the CBP Home App." |
