On Jan. 16, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security paid $102.4 million in cash for an 825,620-square-foot logistics warehouse on Wright Road in Washington County, Md. The purchase closed without public notice, without environmental review and without consultation with state or local authorities.

The department’s plan is to convert the building into a detention facility for 1,500 immigrants. The warehouse currently has four toilets, two water fountains and an 800-gallon-a-day water allocation.

A facility housing 1,500 people requires an estimated 209,000 gallons a day.

ICE has no intention or interest in providing adequate care for its captives. Torture and neglect are guaranteed. As is a complete lack of oversight.

No water? Whoopsie, it's a death camp.
