Corrected the facility's operator record. Akima Infrastructure Protection was previously carried as operator on the basis of its services award. DHS OIG report OIG-25-24 establishes that ICE owns the facility and provides onsite management, and names Akima Global Services as the 2024 security and food-services contractor. No operator role is now published for a contractor.
