The Trump administration will send up to 1,000 migrants to an expanded prison in Indiana dubbed the Speedway Slammer.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the prison, which appears to have been named after the state’s motorsport industry, said the facility will “house some of the worst criminal aliens arrested by ICE”.

The detention facility is the latest creatively-named project from the Trump administration set to open as part of Donald Trump’s efforts to carry out the largest mass deportation in US history.
