DHS Adjusts Plans for Socorro Immigration Facility Amid Infrastructure Concerns

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revised its plans for a large warehouse complex in Socorro originally intended to serve as an immigration detention center for up to 8,500 individuals. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar announced that the facility will now function primarily as a training campus for ICE, with a smaller detention area. This change comes amid concerns over the local water supply, as the existing infrastructure is inadequate to support such a large facility.
