"Once the migrants leave U.S. soil, they lose access to any semblance of rights they may have had."
— American Immigration Council, December 2025
What This Is¶
This database tracks every known facility, country, and infrastructure project where the United States sends, detains, or plans to detain people outside of traditional ICE detention — including:
- Third-country deportation destinations — Countries that accepted U.S. deportees who are NOT their citizens
- Foreign prison partnerships — Facilities like CECOT where the U.S. pays to imprison deportees
- Domestic mega-facilities — The TITUS network of warehouse detention centers
- Military-contracted infrastructure — Facilities built through the Navy's WEXMAC/TITUS contract
Why this matters: The deportation machine is expanding beyond U.S. borders. People deported to third countries lose all legal protections. People sent to CECOT face torture. The TITUS network is building permanent concentration camp infrastructure across the United States using military contracts to bypass oversight.
CECOT is the show pony. The TITUS network is the real machine.
PART 1: FOREIGN DETENTION — Third-Country Deportation Destinations¶

- Deportation flights departed AFTER federal judge blocked them (contempt of court)

Iran (via Qatar)¶
| Field | Detail |

| Route | ICE → Qatar → Iranian authorities → Iran |
| Critical Issue | Group included political dissidents and a Christian convert — sent to a country that executes for apostasy and political dissent |

This is refoulement. Sending political dissidents and religious converts to Iran is sending them to potential execution.
Additional Countries with Agreements¶

| Guatemala | "Safe third country" agreement | CECOT-modeled prison (2,000 capacity) announced Oct 2025 |

| Paraguay | "Safe third country" agreement | Details undisclosed |
The U.S. has asked or plans to ask nearly 60 countries to accept deportees who are not their citizens (New York Times).
PART 2: TITUS — The Domestic Concentration Camp Network¶
What is TITUS?¶
Territorial Integrity of the United States (TITUS) is the codename for a program using Navy contracts to build massive detention infrastructure across the U.S.
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Contract Vehicle | Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC 2.1) |
| Administering Agency | Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) |
| Original Value | $10 billion (military logistics abroad) |
| Current Value | $55 billion ($45 billion increase) |
| Purpose | "Infrastructure, staffing, services, and/or supplies necessary to provide safe and secure confinement for aliens" |
| Key Feature | Bypasses traditional public bidding — task orders can be issued in days or hours |
Why This Is Worse Than CECOT¶
CECOT holds 40,000 people in El Salvador. TITUS is building capacity for 100,000+ people across the United States using military contracting mechanisms that bypass:
- Congressional oversight of individual facilities
- Local government approval
- Public bidding and transparency
- Traditional ICE inspection standards
The infrastructure is a "ghost" network that can be materialized anywhere in the U.S. Task orders convert warehouses to detention centers in days.
Known TITUS/Mega-Facility Locations¶
| Location | Capacity | Cost | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hutchins, TX (near Dallas) | 9,500 | Unknown | Planned |
| El Paso County, TX (near Clint) | 8,500 | $123 million | Purchased |

PART 3: CECOT-MODEL EXPORTS — Countries Building Their Own¶
The CECOT model is spreading:
| Country | Facility | Capacity | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecuador | El Encuentro | Unknown | Opened November 2025 |
| Guatemala | Unnamed | 2,000 | Announced October 2025 |
| Costa Rica | CACCO | Unknown | Under construction 2026 |
PART 4: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR¶
The Known Unknowns¶
- Full DHS spreadsheet of 20+ warehouse locations — partially leaked, not fully public
- TITUS task orders — which specific facilities have been activated?
- Third-country conditions — What happens to deportees after they arrive? Where exactly are they held?
- Death documentation — Are people dying in CECOT, in third-country facilities, in TITUS mega-warehouses?
- Financial flows — Who profits? Track the contractors, the payments, the private prison stocks
The Unknown Unknowns¶
"There's something WORSE than CECOT out there. CECOT is the show pony."
What we're looking for:
- Undisclosed facilities — sites not on the leaked DHS spreadsheet
- Military black sites — detention at military installations not publicly acknowledged
- Offshore processing — are there facilities at U.S. military bases abroad (Guantanamo model)?
- Private contractor facilities — sites operated by TITUS contractors with no public oversight
- Third-country "dark" agreements — deals with countries that haven't been disclosed
- What happens between "removal" and "arrival"? — gaps in the deportation pipeline where people disappear
The 60 countries the U.S. has approached for deportation agreements is a number. The actual agreements signed are a fraction of that. What about the countries that said yes but haven't been reported?
