The resolution, introduced by Rep. Markkanen, urges the federal government to acquire the closed Ojibway Correctional Facility in Marenisco, Michigan, and convert it into a detention and deportation center for the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The facility was shut down in December 2018, resulting in significant job losses for local workers. Since then, efforts have been made to sell the property, and the resolution highlights the increasing need for additional detention space in Michigan, particularly in light of a 154 percent rise in ICE arrests in the state since the beginning of President Trump's second term.

The resolution draws parallels to Florida's recent initiative to repurpose an airport into a migrant detention facility, emphasizing the urgency of expanding detention capacity in Michigan to support federal immigration enforcement efforts. It calls for the federal government to take action and also requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for the proposed facility's establishment.
