Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County filed a lawsuit on Monday against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seeking to prevent conversion of an 833,000-square-foot warehouse near Salt Lake City International Airport into an immigration detention facility. The purchase, made by DHS in March 2026 for $145.4 million, was reported to include plans for 7,500–10,000 detainees. City and county officials, including Mayors Erin Mendenhall and Jenny Wilson, cited infrastructure strain, public-health risks and lack of public review; they announced litigation this week and asked courts to require federal compliance with local review procedures. County Council Republicans questioned the timing and oversight on Tuesday, requesting details about legal strategy, costs and expected fiscal impacts.
