The Department of Homeland Security is pausing plans to buy more warehouses to detain immigrants, according to two senior DHS officials who stressed the decision may only be temporary.

The two officials said that while purchasing is on hold, plans are moving forward to develop facilities that have already been acquired for that purpose. It’s not clear yet whether incoming Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin will change the direction of immigration enforcement and detention.

Border security and immigration remains a top priority for President Donald Trump. But voters gave him poor marks on immigration according to a recent NBC News poll, after DHS surged federal agents into the heart of American cities under former Secretary Kristi Noem.

As of spring 2026, 11 warehouses nationwide have been purchased, according to a tally by NBC News. The cost of the total purchasing plan was estimated at over $38 billion. A DHS spokesperson said: “As with any transition, we are reviewing agency policies and proposals.” The pause gives Mullin time to review Noem's policies before adapting them, the officials said. The former Oklahoma senator was sworn in last week by Attorney General Pam Bondi in the Oval Office.

1. the correct name is republican concentration camps nt

[Whip-poor-will]

2. Concentration extermination factories

There are no more exact words enterprises organized to kill men's souls and maybe their bodies too.

One dead body is the start down a dark road.

Detention means until another outcome is available........ there is none just death hidden from our view.

4. They already are "death camps"

between those who died from untreated illnesses to those who may have contracted diseases like measles and perished (but it wasn't reported as being from the facilities), the ethnic cleansing is well underway.
