For months now, ICE has been quietly buying industrial warehouses around the country,

reportedly with plans to turn them into a network of immigration detention and processing centers

to hold tens of thousands of detainees.

Our White House correspondent, Liz Landers, begins our coverage with a look into how the national

and at times local controversy is playing out in one small Maryland community.

A national controversy lands on the agenda of a small Maryland city during an otherwise mundane weekly meeting.

The Hagerstown City Council and Mayor represent about 45,000 residents,

but the broader community is bracing for the arrival of as many as 1,500 mostly undocumented migrants.

This huge warehouse right here was recently purchased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a detention facility.

This is more than 800,000 square feet, And if it opens, it could be one of the

largest detention facilities of its kind in the country. During a couple of visits over a week,

we saw anti-ice vandalism, but no visible signs of ice itself. We ran into Doris, Kyle Shami, and her husband, Greg,

as we left the site.

The administration is ruining this country

and is tearing apart communities,

tearing apart communities that we need

and they're good people.

You know, this has got to stop.

Locally, the facility will be primarily regulated

by the Washington County Board of Commissioners.

All in favor by saying hi.

Hi.
