Senator Maggie Hassan has opened an investigation into DHS’s 2025 purchase of the Prairie Correctional Facility from CoreCivic for $495 million, after Minnesota was offered the facility for $75 million. The inquiry seeks preservation of records and raises oversight questions about the purchase valuation, supporting documentation, and the separate operating contract; no new solicitation or procurement deadline is identified.
