The Farmville #ICE Detention Center has new ownership. That filing came Tuesday night, announcing that Abyon LLC had sold the facility for a total price of $67 million. https://t.co/AB8bZnfALs
No, the town council didn’t approve a new detention facility. They also didn’t vote to expand the current #ICE detention center in Farmville. Instead, during their latest meeting, the group corrected a unique issue that dates back to 2011. https://t.co/B04Z2GTv1x
