Another county expected to host an immigrant detention center for ICE

After some debate, expectations are strong that Gaston County in South Carolina will become the latest county to agree to host a new immigrant detention center for ICE.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants the facility to hold 1,500 beds. It would create at least 300 jobs, with the Gaston County Sheriff’s Office running the jail.

The Charlotte Observer reports U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick helped steer the facility to Gaston County after fearing her first choice would fall through.
