Trump officials set to expand migrant family detention at Louisiana airport
AI Summary
The Trump administration plans to expand immigration detention at Alexandria International Airport in Louisiana. The proposed facility will house migrant families and unaccompanied children for three to five days before deportation. It will be located in a converted military barracks within the airport complex, near an existing adult detention center run by Geo Group. The facility will be operated by the LaSalle family foundation and Compass Connections. Airport officials describe the center as a "humanitarian effort" for individuals who have sought to "self-deport," though migrant and civil liberty groups dispute this characterization. The project is funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and is expected to be operational within 60 to 90 days.
