Taxpayers still on hook for COVID-shuttered ICE facility amid objections by blue state lawmaker
Fox News
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is again extending the evaluation of a mostly-shuttered detention center, and taxpayers remain on the hook.
The facility in Adelanto, California, can house nearly 2,000 inmates but was blocked by a September 2020 court order in response to a lawsuit from immigrant activists calling for fewer inmates due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the COVID-19 emergency expiring last year, the facility has yet to re-open and has only a handful of inmates living there. Fox News Digital reported in November that the facility was expected to close in December, but ICE then launched a 60-day task order to evaluate the effect of ongoing litigation, the costs of maintenance and the operational requirements.
