The Department of Homeland Security paid $34.7 million for the warehouse it purchased in Romulus last month, according to city land records, 57% more than the last time the property was sold.
The 250,000-square-foot property at 7525 Cogswell Road is one of about two dozen industrial warehouses around the country that the Trump administration plans to purchase in a bid to increase Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention capacity.
