ICE Detention Infrastructure

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has ordered a legal review/state investigation of the Department of Homeland Security’s Williamsport ICE compound after Washington County’s Board of Commissioners voted to endorse cooperation with DHS/ICE and use of the recently purchased $102 million Williamsport warehouse, a decision that provoked chaotic protests at the Hagerstown meeting and forced officials to clear the room and cut the county TV feed. Demonstrations at the site and the board meeting — which featured criticisms from Democratic figures including congressional candidate David Trone and Rep. April McClain‑Delaney — come amid broader regional resistance to proposed ICE facilities, including moves in Howard County and Pennsylvania to block similar sites.
