亚利桑那州已起诉联邦政府，要求叫停拟在瑟普赖斯市一处据称存放有害化学品的场地附近修建的移民和海关执法局大规模拘留设施。
亚利桑那州总检察长克里斯·梅斯的办公室于周五提起诉讼，她在一份声明中表示：“特朗普政府急于在全国范围内扩大拘留容量，完全无视联邦法律。”
梅斯称，国土安全部和移民海关执法局未开展或公开开设该设施所需的环境审查程序。诉讼还指控，这座可容纳数百人至最多1500人的拟议拘留设施违反了《移民与国籍法》，该法案要求联邦政府为移民拘留安排“合适”的场所。
移民海关执法局的一位发言人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，在购买该场地之前，该局已仔细评估了现有设施的使用情况，以尽量减少对环境的影响，“包括对受保护物种、敏感自然资源和珍贵文化资源的潜在影响”。
这位发言人补充称，这场诉讼与环境无关，“而是试图阻止特朗普总统让美国变得安全”。
诉讼文件显示，国会于2025年7月为移民海关执法局拨款450亿美元，用于“单身成年外籍人士拘留容量和家庭住宿中心容量”，资金可使用至2029年9月。其中一处新近收购的处理场地是瑟普赖斯市的这座仓库，法庭文件显示，联邦政府于1月23日以7000万美元的价格买下了它。联邦政府已签订超过3亿美元的合同，用于改造这座仓库。
诉讼指控，这座仓库最初并非为容纳数百人而建造，而是作为可供四家商业租户使用的工业配送设施。法庭文件显示，该仓库“正对面就是一座存放数千加仑危险材料的化学品储存设施”。根据诉讼内容，该仓库包含超过10万平方英尺的集装箱式危险化学品储存区，用于存放半导体生产所用的化学品。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻就亚利桑那州提出的“拟议拘留设施街对面的仓库存放有害化学品”这一主张，专门联系国土安全部征求评论，但在发稿前未收到回复。
国土安全部还面临其他多个州和城市的反对，这些地区均为联邦政府计划开设大规模拘留设施的地点。
亚特兰大市议会本周早些时候通过一项决议，反对在亚特兰大建设或运营大型移民拘留中心。该决议对佐治亚州索希尔奇尔一处可容纳多达1万名被拘留者的新近收购仓库表示担忧，当地官员称，该设施可能会给供水和污水处理系统等基础设施带来压力。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻亚特兰大分社本月早些时候报道称，国土安全部已暂停开设该拘留中心的计划。市经理埃里克·泰勒表示，他是在网上得知暂停计划的消息，并称所有移民海关执法局拘留中心都在接受流程审查期间处于暂停状态。
马里兰州总检察长安东尼·布朗于3月对移民海关执法局和国土安全部提起诉讼，此前联邦政府在威廉斯波特附近收购了一座仓库，计划将其改造为拘留设施。
政府在回应的法庭文件中表示，所有必要的审查程序均已完成，原告的主张无法证明初步禁令符合公共利益。马里兰州一名法官于4月15日发布初步禁令，在诉讼审理期间叫停该拘留设施的建设。

Arizona sues to block proposed ICE mass detention facility near site with hazardous chemicals
April 25, 2026 / 5:29 PM EDT / CBS News
Arizona has sued the federal government to block a proposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement mass detention facility near a site in the city of Surprise allegedly filled with hazardous chemicals.
“The Trump administration has run roughshod over federal law in its rush to expand detention capacity across the country,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, whose office filed the lawsuit Friday, said in a statement.
Mayes claims the Department of Homeland Security and ICE have not conducted or publicized the required environmental reviews for opening a facility. The lawsuit also alleges the proposed facility — which could house anywhere from hundreds to up to 1,500 individuals — violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, which mandates the federal government arrange for “appropriate” places for immigration detention.
An ICE spokesperson told CBS News that before purchasing this site, the agency carefully evaluated the use of existing facilities to help minimize environmental impacts, “including potential impacts to protected species, sensitive natural resources, and valued cultural resources.”
The spokesperson added that the lawsuit wasn’t about the environment, “It’s about trying to stop President Trump from making America safe.”
Congress appropriated $45 billion to ICE in July 2025 for “single adult alien detention capacity and family residential center capacity,” to remain available for obligation through September 2029, the lawsuit said. One of those recently acquired processing sites is the warehouse in the city of Surprise, which court documents said the federal government purchased for $70 million on Jan. 23. The federal government has issued contracts for over $300 million to retrofit the warehouse.
The lawsuit alleges the warehouse was not constructed as a space to house hundreds of people, but as an industrial distribution facility for up to four commercial tenants. Court documents say the warehouse “sits directly across the street from a chemical storage facility containing thousands of gallons of hazardous materials.” The warehouse includes more than 100,000 feet of containerized hazardous materials storage for chemicals used in semiconductor production, according to the lawsuit.
CBS News reached out to DHS for comment specifically regarding Arizona’s claims that there are hazardous chemicals in a warehouse across the street from the proposed detention facility, but did not receive a response before publication.
DHS has faced opposition from other cities and states where the federal government plans to open mass detention facilities.
The Atlanta City Council approved a resolution earlier this week opposing the construction or operation of large-scale immigration detention centers in Atlanta. The resolution raised concerns about a recently purchased warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, that could hold up to 10,000 detainees, which local officials said could strain infrastructure like water and sewer systems.
CBS News Atlanta reported earlier this month that DHS had paused plans to open the detention center. City Manager Eric Taylor said he read about the pause online and that all ICE detention centers were paused while undergoing a process review.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown filed a lawsuit in March against ICE and DHS after the federal government purchased a warehouse near Williamsport to turn into a detention facility.
The government said in responding court documents that all necessary reviews were conducted and the plaintiffs’ claims did not demonstrate a preliminary injunction would be in the public interest. A Maryland judge granted a preliminary injunction on April 15 to stop the construction of the detention facility while the lawsuit plays out.
