Meuser Provides Update on Status of DHS Detention Facilities

“My office has been informed directly that DHS, under the leadership of Secretary Markwayne Mullin, has advanced immigration enforcement plans that will not include the proposed detention or processing centers in Berks or Schuylkill counties,” said Congressman Meuser. “The Administration’s plans evolved based on operational needs and, in large part, the extensive due diligence conducted by county and local officials, working alongside my office to ensure the best possible outcome for the community. The careful review of the proposed sites and engagement with DHS played an important role throughout this process. My office will provide an update upon learning of the definitive future plans for the sites.”
