ICE planning facility for children and families on Pfas-contaminated site

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ found at least 41m ppt in groundwater at former military facility in Louisiana

Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning a detention facility for children and their families on one the nation’s most Pfas-contaminated sites, which also serves as a hub for the president’s deportation program.

The England air force base, now called England Airpark, is a sprawling former military facility in Louisiana where Pfas levels in the groundwater have been found at least 41m parts per trillion (ppt).
