NEW: “Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to," Gregory Bovino told Border Patrol officers in 2025.

Map titled "ICE Facilities of Interest" in the US. Bubbles, sized by 500-15,000 beds, show statuses. Side panel lists totals: Warehouse Canceled (12), Prospective Warehouses (6), Warehouses Bought (10), Warehouses Paused (1). Large bubbles are in Texas, Missouri, and Utah. The map uses statuses like Sale Canceled (green), Prospective Site (yellow), Bought by ICE (red), Temporary Restraining Order (light blue), and Conversion in Progress (orange).
