华盛顿，2月23日（路透社） – 马里兰州总检察长安东尼·布朗周一表示，该州已提起诉讼，起诉特朗普政府，要求停止在该州建设新的联邦移民拘留中心。
布朗称，负责移民事务联邦监督的美国国土安全部（DHS）已在马里兰州华盛顿县花费超过1亿美元，将一个54英亩（平方英尺）的仓库改造成可同时关押1500人的拘留中心。

据马里兰州总检察长和政府称，特朗普政府在未进行环境评估或征求公众意见的情况下收购了该房产。
然而，华盛顿县上个月表示，联邦政府无需寻求当地分区规划批准即可推进该项目。因此，该县称无法在法律上限制特朗普政府推进拘留中心建设的能力。
民主党人、马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔表示：“当联邦政府做出影响民众健康、安全和社区的决定时，我们的民众必须被倾听。”
他补充道：“马里兰州提起诉讼，是因为国土安全部必须遵守与其他所有联邦机构相同的法律标准。”
国土安全部未立即回应置评请求。
该部门计划在2026年斥资超过380亿美元建设拘留中心，与此同时，共和党籍的特朗普政府正试图推进其已具侵略性的移民议程。这将使移民和海关执法局（ICE）拘留中心的总床位容量增加到92,600张。
美国目前共有超过200个联邦移民拘留中心。
在美国各州增加拘留中心的举措遭到了两党一些人士的批评。
在此背景下，周一四名民主党国会议员宣布计划提出一项法案，要求国土安全部在建设、收购或运营任何ICE处理设施或拘留中心之前，必须获得州和地方官员的书面批准。

WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) – Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said on Monday that the state had filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to halt construction of a new federal immigration detention center in the state.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which has federal oversight of immigration, spent more than $100 million on a 54-acre square-foot warehouse in Maryland’s Washington County to convert into a detention center capable of holding 1,500 people at a time, Brown said.

The Trump administration, according to Maryland’s attorney general and government, purchased the property without conducting an environmental review or receiving public input.
However, according to Washington County last month, the federal government did not need to seek local zoning approval for the project. As a result, it said, the county could not legally restrict the Trump administration’s ability to proceed with the detention center.
“Our people must be heard when the federal government makes decisions that affect their health, their safety, and their communities,” said Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a Democrat.
He added: “The State of Maryland is filing this lawsuit because DHS must be held to the same legal standard as every other federal agency.”
DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The department plans to spend more than $38 billion in 2026 on detention centers as the Republican Trump administration seeks to ramp up its already aggressive immigration agenda. This would increase Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) total bed capacity to 92,600 at its detention centers.
There are currently more than 200 federal immigration detention centers in the United States.
The move to increase detention centers in states across the U.S. states has been met with some bipartisan criticism.
Amid the criticism, four Democratic members of Congress on Monday announced a plan to introduce a bill requiring DHS to seek written approval from state and local officials before constructing, acquiring or operating any ICE processing facility or detention center.
