AG Brown Urges ICE to Halt Williamsport Warehouse Plan Given Ongoing Concerns About Environmental Impacts

Published Date: Jul 1, 2026

AG Brown urged the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement to halt its plan to convert a vacant warehouse in Washington County into a 1,500-bed immigration detention facility, citing ongoing and unresolved concerns about the project’s environmental impacts. In formal comments submitted today to ICE, Attorney General Brown argues that the agency must prepare a full Environmental Impact Statement rather than a more limited Environmental Assessment and urges ICE to instead consider selling the property.
