U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has purchased a massive warehouse in the West Valley, according to Maricopa County property records.

Filings showed the federal government purchased the more than 400,000 square-foot facility near Sweetwater Avenue and Dysart Road for $70 million in cash from RG Surprise, LLC last Friday.

According to an archived listing, the warehouse completed by Rockefeller Group was previously called the Surprise Pointe Commerce Center and was primarily set up to accommodate one to four tenants.

While the feds haven’t announced plans for the addition of new detainment facilities, the American Immigration Council, a left-center think tank, has reported that ICE has been buying up and occupying more facilities for immigration detention in recent months.
