The Trump administration opened a new immigration detention center at Angola prison in Louisiana, a notorious facility known for its harsh conditions. Secretary Kristi Noem described it as housing the "worst of the worst" ICE detainees. Around 51 detainees are already there, with expectations of over 400 in the coming months. The facility, though refurbished, retains its history as a brutal prison with a dark past including slavery and violence. This is part of a larger Trump administration effort to expand immigration detention capacity, aiming to deter illegal immigration.
