Hamburg PA — ICE Processing Center (warehouse purchase)
Berks, PA
FIPS 42011
1,000-1,500 beds (processing center)
Bed capacity
Operator: ICE (federal)
One of six confirmed processing center purchases in ICE’s Detention Reengineering Initiative. Planned capacity 1,000-1,500 beds with average stays of 3-7 days. Part of the Pennsylvania cluster (along with upper-bern-pa-warehouse and tremont-pa-mega-center). Hamburg is the post-office town for the Upper Bern Township site at 3501 Mountain Road, so this entry and upper-bern-pa-warehouse likely describe the same Berks County processing center.
As of June 2026 the site is blocked by PA DEP orders and under appeal at the Environmental Hearing Board (DEP/DHS settlement discussion ordered by June 8, 2026). See pa-berks-upper-bern-ice-warehouse.
