US EditionICE wants to buy Pattison building to use for ‘holding and processing
DHS plans to convert a Jim Pattison Group warehouse into an ICE facility with upgraded security and holding spaces, pending Hanover County's response within 30 days.
- Last Wednesday, the United States Department of Homeland Security notified the Hanover County planning department that it seeks to `purchase, occupy and rehabilitate` a warehouse owned by Jim Pattison Developments for use as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility.
- Property records indicate Jim Pattison Developments has owned the building since 2022, and DHS plans call for constructing `holding and processing spaces` plus security and equipment upgrades.
- Requests for comment to Jim Pattison Developments went unanswered while Marissa Birnie, The Canadian Press, reported the development involving Jim Pattison Group.
- Hanover County says it was told it has 30 days to respond to DHS's letter requesting to `purchase, occupy and rehabilitate` the warehouse.
- The move positions the United States Department of Homeland Security to acquire a building owned by the property arm of Vancouver-based conglomerate Jim Pattison Group in Hanover County, Virginia, for ICE use with upgraded security and `holding and processing spaces`.
