Incoming Trump admin is eyeing new immigrant detention centers near major U.S. cities
The plan would also include restarting the policy of detaining parents with their children, known as family detention, which immigration advocates have criticized.
Cities with large populations of migrants — like Denver, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago — could need additional detention sites built nearby to hold migrants arrested there. The administration might also need to reopen, expand or build new facilities in the Northeast to hold migrants arrested around New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, the source said.
