A former prison in Tipton County, Tennessee has been repurposed to house Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees. The Mason Board of Aldermen approved CoreCivic's contract to operate the West Tennessee Detention Facility.

CoreCivic, which has 40 years of experience with immigration systems, emphasized the federal government's immediate need for safe detention housing. The facility is expected to create nearly 240 jobs and generate significant tax revenue for the community.

Despite these economic benefits, the ACLU of Tennessee opposes the facility and demands the contract be halted, though their specific concerns weren't detailed.
