DHS/ICE canceled plans to convert two Pennsylvania warehouses—located in Upper Bern Township, Berks County, and Tremont Township, Schuylkill County—into ICE detention centers. State environmental concerns suggested the local water and sewer systems could not safely support thousands of detainees and would strain infrastructure and public health. Governor Josh Shapiro’s administration opposed the facilities, citing dramatic increases in utility demand and potential loss of tax revenue for the state. DHS withdrew its appeals of the environmental orders and informed the state it would not use the properties as detention centers. Local officials and residents pressed to block the plans amid concerns about health, safety, and infrastructure impacts. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says it will continue to monitor the sites to ensure compliance and determine future use of the properties.
