The Real ID Act of 2005 made a number of sweeping changes in regards to immigration in the United States and was passed as a reaction to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. That law allows the Department of Homeland Security to waive certain federal laws when it comes to border security. “Under a normal situation, the presence of two endangered species would allow the Fish and Wildlife Service to make a call of jeopardy,” Bogan said, referring to the department’s ability to stop certain activity that would jeopardize an endangered species. “That is what would happen in a normal world situation. But on the border, because of the Real ID Act and some of these acts that were passed post-9/11, the federal government has the option of waiving any environmental and cultural laws in the name of border security.”

Transportation line items in the GardaWorld records distinguish between “Processing Sites,” estimated at 5,000 miles per year — consistent with short local transfer runs — and “Megacenters,” estimated at 100,000 miles per year, a figure that implies a regional hub moving large numbers of people across significant distances.

Processing centers shuttle detainees into large-scale facilities capable of housing 7,000 to 10,000 people for 60 days at a time, or more.
"After witnessing detainees "packed like sardines" during a surprise oversight visit at a short-term immigration holding facility in Mesa, Democratic House members from Arizona are introducing legislation to stop federal immigration authorities from holding detainees for longer than 12 hours at such facilities. The legislation, which faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled Congress, would restore a 12-hour cap on the amount of time immigration detainees awaiting deportation flights could be held at short-term holding facilities such as the one run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Mesa Gateway Airport." https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/immigration/2026/04/29/us-reps-from-az-want-12-hour-cap-at-ice-holding-facilities/89843384007
