Sept. 3 (UPI) — The federal government is opening a new immigration detention facility at Louisiana State Penitentiary, which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dubbed “Louisiana Lockup” in an announcement Wednesday.

She said the federal partnership with the state of Louisiana will include up to 416 beds at the facility also known as Angola Prison.

“If you come into this country and you victimize someone, if you take away their child forever, if you traffic drugs and kill our next generation of Americans, and if you traffic our children and men and women, absolutely there’s consequences,” Noem said during a news conference at the prison. “You’re going to end up here.”

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said the prison was designed to hold “the worst of the worst.”

“Louisiana Lockup will give [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] the space it needs to lock up some of the worst criminal illegal aliens — murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug traffickers and gang members — so they can no longer threaten our families and communities,” he said in a news release.

The DHS release said the funding for the facility comes from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4.

The Louisiana immigration detention facility is one of multiple prisons opened by the Trump administration in recent months as part of the president’s pledge to mass deport immigrants.

The South Florida Detention Facility, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” opened at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Cypress National Preserve was opened July 1, but last month a federal judge ordered the government to wind down operations within 60 days.

The order came in response to a lawsuit by Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity accusing the Trump administration of building the facility in violation of environmental laws, which require an environmental review before construction at the preserve.
