The Trump administration is backing off plans to convert a Georgia warehouse into a detention facility for up to 10,000 immigration detainees, the city said.

DHS is reportedly scrapping plans for warehouse conversions at seven sites nationwide, according to The New York Times, though officials have not formally confirmed the decision.
