据美联社报道,美国国土安全部计划在路易斯安那州亚历山大国际机场旁建立一座新的临时拘留设施 [1]。该设施由私营监狱公司 LaSalle Corrections 的非营利部门运营,官方将其定义为“集结区”,主要用于对家庭进行为期 72 小时的短期拘留以加速自愿遣返流程 [1]。新中心设计容量为 528 个床位,预计最早将于今年 8 月开始投入运营 [1]。尽管美方强调该设施旨在处理无陪伴儿童及移民家庭的快速转运,但移民倡导者对此表示担忧,指出官方定义的短期拘留可能演变为数周甚至数月的长期关押风险 [1]。
The Trump administration plans to open a temporary detention facility with 528 beds next to the Alexandria International Airport in Louisiana [1]. Operated by the nonprofit arm of private prison company LaSalle Corrections, the site is officially designated as an "assembly area" rather than a traditional jail [1]. The government intends for this location to process families and unaccompanied children through voluntary repatriation procedures within 72 hours [1]. Officials state that opening the facility will accelerate deportation workflows for these groups [1]. However, immigration advocates have expressed concerns regarding regulatory oversight and the risk of prolonged detention lasting weeks or months despite official claims [1]. The project is expected to begin operations as early as August [1].
