“They’re going to be brought together, and when they come together, some it will be a detention center. Some of it will be a processing center, and some of it will be just for them to get ready to transfer,” Rep. Buddy Carter (GA-01) said.
According to GEO, the facility is under contract with ICE as of June 6.
