PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia could be one of four cities to get an ICE detention center.
ABC News has learned Immigration and Customs Enforcement is currently looking for contractors.
ICE wants turn-key existing facilities that would be ready to begin housing detainees within 30 days after a contract is awarded.
The agency is looking for space in Philadelphia that will hold 1,800 beds and is located no more than 50 miles from a local airport.
Action News has reached out to city officials for comment and are awaiting a response.
