The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to invest 38.3 billion U.S. dollars as to the end of 2026 to purchase and renovate additional detention facilities for undocumented immigrants, amid a sharp rise in arrests over the past year.
According to the ICE Detention Reengineering Initiative released Friday by the office of Kelly Ayotte, governor of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, ICE intends to buy 16 buildings and convert them into small-scale detention centers to expand custody capacity. The facilities are expected to be put into use by November, 2026.
Each facility would accommodate between 1,000 and 1,500 people, with an average detention period of three to seven days.
Meanwhile, the document says that the ICE also plans to establish eight large-scale detention centers, each capable of holding 7,000 to 10,000 detainees, with an average detention duration of about 60 days.
The document points out that the ICE is to recruit 12,000 additional law enforcement personnel for a potential surge in arrests and consequently, increased demand for detention facilities.
U.S. government data shows that the number of individuals detained by ICE has increased by approximately 74 percent since the current U.S. administration assumed office in January 2025.
