No advance notice of the closure was provided to me, and the Bureau has so far refused to share detailed information regarding this decision and supporting materials, other than limited information included in the original deactivation notification.Given the serious impact that TCI's closure would have on our community, until there is a better understanding of this determination, I have requested the Bureau and U.S. Department of Justice immediately suspend any activities related to removing inmates from this facility. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
