> The Department of Homeland Security has abandoned plans to convert a warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, into a massive immigration detention center that would have housed up to 10,000 detainees and thousands of employees. Local officials announced they were informed the project was no longer being pursued, though it remains unclear whether the federal government will sell the property or repurpose it. The facility had faced strong opposition from residents and elected officials, including Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who argued it would strain local infrastructure. The government had paid $128.5 million for the warehouse, more than four times its previous sale price, and local leaders hope it eventually returns to private ownership and the local tax base.
