The facility was constructed in the 1970s [4] and had been an immigration-related facility since 2006.

[6] In 2019 several security upgrades such as surveillance cameras were installed. [7] The location has functioned as a federal immigration processing center for many years. [8]
Since the start of Operation Midway Blitz in late 2025, it has been the scene of many protests, incidents, and court actions.

[12] There have also been reports of dubious emergency calls to local police originating from the facility. [13]

On September 23, 2025 wire riot fence was installed outside the facility in an attempt to prevent protesters from getting too close or blocking ICE vehicles as they enter and leave the facility.

A federal judge later ordered the fencing to be removed in a ruling on October 5, 2025, with the fencing being removed on October 10, 2025. [20] [21]
