Instead of building shiny new jails à la futuristic dystopia, ICE has chosen the scenic route of reopening old facilities to manage its overflow crisis. It's like the government saying, 'Why buy new jail shoes when those million-dollar rusty kicks still fit?' Renovations breeze past red tape faster than a TikTok trend, proving that when you want a spike in detention beds, recycling dreary dorms is the go-to move. Sources divulge that this strategy bypasses the decades-long construction delays - basically putting comfy back into condemned. Our federal friends must be lowkey hoping these spaces don’t ghost-vanish like budget lines or sanity in Congress.
