The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center.
Choctaw Nation Buys Former Big Lots Warehouse, Closing Off Oklahoma ICE Detention Site
The sale is the second time in months that a large Oklahoma warehouse pursued by ICE for detention use has instead gone to another buyer.

Which is to say Mullin is close enough to the Chocktaw Nation that this may be more alarming than relieving.
