Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
A North Texas warehouse owner has announced that they will not sell or lease their property to federal authorities for use as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
The warehouse, located in Dallas County, was previously reported to be under consideration for conversion into a migrant detention center. However, the owner has stated that they will not enter into any agreement with ICE for this purpose.
This decision comes amid growing concerns from local residents and community groups about the potential impact of such facilities on neighborhoods. Some have expressed opposition to the idea of human warehouses being built in residential areas.
The warehouse’s owner has declined to comment further on their decision, but it is clear that they will not be selling or leasing their property for use as an ICE facility.
It remains to be seen what steps will be taken next by federal authorities in their search for alternative locations for such facilities.
