“A number of illegal immigrants at a federal detention center have been transferred to other facilities, authorities said Saturday.

The detainees were moved while authorities perform maintenance and conduct inspections at the center located in Los Angeles’ San Pedro section, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement.

The agency wouldn’t say when or where the detainees were relocated or how many, citing security concerns. It also declined to give more information about the maintenance work, but said “the need for preventative maintenance was identified during a facility evaluation.”"*
