Michigan HR0151 urges the federal government to purchase the Ojibway Correctional Facility for use as a detention and deportation center.

Michigan HR0151 is a resolution urging the federal government to purchase the Ojibway Correctional Facility in Marenisco, Michigan, and convert it into a detention and deportation center for the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The facility, closed in December 2018, has been on the market since 2021. The resolution cites the rising number of arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Michigan and the need for additional detention space. It also mentions the repurposing of a Miami-Dade County airport into a migrant detention facility as a precedent.
