💨 Abstract
The infamous Leavenworth, Kansas penitentiary is set to reopen, this time to house migrants targeted by President Trump's deportation policies. The federal government has signed a deal with CoreCivic, a private prison firm, to reopen a 1,033-bed prison. This move, part of a broader effort by ICE to secure more detention beds, faces local resistance.
