WASHINGTON, D.C. — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has proposed expanding state-run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities modeled on a high-security center in Louisiana—known colloquially as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

The plan aims to increase capacity for holding immigration detainees and replicate the operational model of the Louisiana facility, which officials cite as effective in enforcing immigration protocols.

Noem identified Arizona, Nebraska, and Louisiana as possible locations for new facilities. Arizona’s proximity to the Mexican border has made it central to immigration enforcement. Nebraska offers a centralized geographic advantage for transport logistics. Louisiana already hosts the reference facility and would serve as a site for potential expansion.

The proposal comes amid national discussion over conditions and management of existing ICE detention centers. Critics have expressed concerns related to treatment and human rights standards, while proponents emphasize efficiency and enforcement capability.

The Department of Homeland Security has not provided timelines or detailed plans for construction or operation. Noem indicated that further consultations with state authorities and logistical assessments are forthcoming.
