The D. Ray James Correctional Facility in Charlton County, Georgia, will become the nation's largest immigration detention center. The expansion will increase the facility's capacity to nearly 3,000 beds and create approximately 400 jobs.

The officer was shot in the neck on Friday, the night of the Fourth of July , after reporting to the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southwest of Dallas. He was treated at a hospital and released, the Johnson County Sheriff’s office said.

Several armed people were taken into custody after officers responded to a report of a suspicious person outside the detention center, officials said.
