Recent roundups of illegal immigrants in major cities across the country had led to the question: Where are the detainees going to be housed — temporarily or otherwise?
The process of arresting them is one thing, but the Immigration and Customs Enforcement isn’t going to put ankle monitors on violent gang members and career criminals and let them back out on the streets.
The process involves transferring detained criminals to various facilities, with the main focus on states like Texas and Louisiana, which together house about half of the roughly 50,000 ICE detainees as of mid-2025.
Some detainees are going to unconventional locations, such as a Space Force base in Colorado and the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, where facilities are being converted for immigration detention.
Alaska is one of those places.
Some 40 detainees are now being housed in the Anchorage Correctional Complex until they can be processed and, if appropriate, deported. The State of Alaska has made a deal with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to take the 40-or-so men, as part of a contract the state already had.
The plane with the detainees was a Coast Guard flight that landed in Anchorage on Sunday, sources said.
Nationwide, ICE facilities are straining at about a 109% capacity.
A major protest has been called by the Party for Socialism and Liberation for the Anchorage Correctional Complex, per this announcement:
good
Democrats: “Quick, bring out all the crying mothers!”
Democrats are so susceptible to emotional manipulation. Easy to control useful idiots.
Wild to see us in a time where Operation Mockingbird has successfully brainwashed all who belong to the Left.
Some on the Right too, but at least they generally stay in their living room and not out in public being a nuisance.
At this point I’m beginning to wonder if they even know what they are protesting.
ICE, ICE, baby!
Are they going to protest ACC? Are they going to try and rile up the inmates? This could be very unsafe. A prison is not a place to hold “mostly peaceful protests.” This is especially true when they’re federal detainees being held in a state facility.
Step inside for the demonstration, wait right there in d block, please flush if you use the head. Someone from the event coordinator will be there shortly to go over your new schedule.
The left needs those illegals for future votes in elections to finally rid themselves of republican rule, its quite obvious.
Anchorage is not a Alaskan city, it’s more in line with LA, Seattle, Portland and Chicago. Difference is that the law enforcement isn’t corrupt like these other cities. If you’re a illegal and you protest, you should be deported the next day.
Anchorage is conveniently located: only a 15 minute drive from Alaska.
Party for Socialism and Liberation is a communist party organization. John Q. Public don’t be fooled. Hopefully it will be a mostly “peaceful demonstration”, and LEOs and prisoners will not be harmed or assaulted. Newsflash — Mr. Public do not count on accurate news coverage by msm.
The USA will not be GOVERNED by Street Freak Shows, Protests, Riots, or people waving non American flags. Our Great Country has allowed this nonsense to go on long enough. The 60’s, the Obama Years, the Biden Years, and the Jan 6, riot. The American People have had enough of it. There is no way the NEWS CARTEL can Spin us into embracing the Leftist Lunacy. To those who SPIT on our Flag, our Police Force, our National Guard you do so at your own risk. The consequences of your actions could be very painful, even fatal, but deserved.
$223.70 a day and a flight up here. Could of bussed them to Mississippi for $65 a day. Who pays for medical care? Bring back Elon.
I suppose this is kinda mean, but these folks illegally entered the USA. They knew it at the time. Arrest them all and deport them all if the evidence supports that result. Everyone needs to stop pretending that we really don’t enforce the law.
The law isn’t enforced equally – don’t apologize.
Look at the countless the cretin miscreants on our streets break every day.
Try going over 7 mph on the Glenn and see what happens to you.
The INVADERS INCLUDING THEIR DREAMER KIDS need to be deported.
Looking at the protest signage, one sees the usual, Heavy set, angry ugly women. Can’t they find even a ‘Hanoi Jane’ or Barb Streisand to hold one end???
Build concentration camps in the Nevada desert. Do it today.
Something something rich environment.
There is no living with these people. They seek our utter destruction and will not stop. I wish it wasn’t so.
What a grand opportunity for Anchorage’s mayor to enshrine herself even more as the worst in the city’s history.
.
She could send Code Enforcers to shut ’em down just like they shut people down during China flu hysteria.
.
Nobody rioted then, did they?
.
How about it, Madam Mayor, what’s the play here? Pay ’em off, turn the other cheek, postpone arson fires due to rain?
Remember the soviet term, ‘useful idiots?’ If they tried protesting in an actual socialist state, they’d not last long!
I will not proclaim success on this stuff until there are reliable reports of a steady stream of individuals without lawful claim to remain in the US moving south across the border. The more difficult problem we be with the Middle Eastern, African and Asian criminal folks who are much further from home.
Send the 40 illegals to one of the unused federal buildings located on JBER (fka Elmendorf AFB and Fort Richardson). There are plenty of enlisted personnel that can guard them round the clock and meals can be provided from the same chow the enlisted personnel eat. Limited access, no protesters can get on base easily or legally and the guards at the entrances are armed.
last time I was out to Adak, I noted a great facility that would be most appropriate for holding the detainees.
Seriously Mexico is a long way south from Alaska…..so once they are processed & not eligible for deportation they will be released into Alaska ??
So, Ij, you just assume that they are all from Mexico. Your bias, racism and limited mindset is showing.
Let’s deport these anti American protesters with them.
Get the Party for Socialism and Liberation out of Alaska
