Comment on ICE Detention Facility in Salt Lake City
March 16, 2026 1:00 pm
"It is unacceptable and outrageous that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is rushing to turn a Salt Lake City industrial warehouse into a massive immigration detention facility. Nationwide, ICE detention facilities have become synonymous with inhumane and even deadly conditions, secrecy, and egregious deprivations of due process, with nearly two dozen individuals having died in ICE custody since October 2025,” said Brittney Nystrom, Executive Director for the ACLU of Utah. “This enormous warehouse was purchased with the intent to detain our neighbors, friends, and families in an industrial building without any public notice or community input. Retrofitting an urban warehouse to detain thousands of people calls for greater transparency and oversight, not less.”
