- Mason, Tennessee town approves CoreCivic Ice detention facility conversion — The five-member board of aldermen in Mason, Tennessee, voted to approve contracts converting the closed West Tennessee detention facility into a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention center operated by CoreCivic Inc. The facility, closed in 2021 under Biden's order halting private detention contracts, will reopen under Trump's reversal of that policy. Mayor Eddie Noeman cited job creation and economic development; residents and activists objected loudly, citing CoreCivic's history of mistreatment allegations and Ice's immigration enforcement role.
