A private prison in Appleton, Minnesota, has been sold to ICE for use as an immigration detention facility. The 1,600-bed facility was previously empty. The sale's impact on the local community is a concern, as the town of Appleton relies heavily on property taxes from the facility to fund its budget.
Further details on the sale and its implications are available from the Star Tribune, including information on the potential tax exemption of the facility under federal ownership.
