Immigrants in Detention to Be Sent Out of State

The New York Times reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will close a controversial detention center in Greenwich Village next month and transfer the center’s roughly 300 detainees to a county jail in New Jersey, federal officials announced on Thursday. Officials said that the jail, in Hudson County, will house immigration detainees at half the cost — $111 a day per detainee, compared with $253 at the Village center, the Varick Street Detention Facility.
