The federal government is planning to open a new migrant holding facility in Louisiana, which could facilitate faster deportations of families and unaccompanied children. The facility, with 528 beds, will be located near the Alexandria International Airport, allowing for easier access to flights for deportation. This proximity is expected to streamline the process of housing and deporting migrants. The airport is already a major hub for deportations, with over 4,400 immigration enforcement flights last year.
