An NPR investigation reports that a DHS warehouse in Roxbury, N.J., appears to have been used for short-term immigration detention this summer, despite a court order barring its conversion into a detention facility pending environmental review. Witnesses describe a Sept. 4 raid in nearby Dover, with a detained man's daughter and a deported friend saying he was held at the warehouse. DHS did not say whether people were held there, and a White House spokesperson denied a contractor's claim that Stephen Miller wanted harsh detention conditions. The article also traces the broader billion-dollar warehouse detention plan, which drew lawsuits and was partly abandoned.
