Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal agencies continue to make detainments in immigration courts as people attend their court hearings. One of the GSA employees said ICE has urgently requested the agency find around 300 fully furnished properties with private office space to lease by this winter. It’s also happening alongside a government-wide effort to divert resources towards immigration enforcement, from federal leasing efforts to law enforcement expertise from other agencies like the FBI. “It’s been incredibly chaotic,” said one of the GSA employees familiar with the new “emergency” lease project. The efforts are causing frustration among some GSA employees, who dealt with months of DOGE downsizing and reorganizing at the agency.
