Milwaukee School of Engineering says the law allows the federal government agency to occupy the building even after its lease ends
A university in Milwaukee is stuck with ICE as its tenant after the agency refused to leave a building the university intended to renovate. Now, the building is being used as an office for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations, who lead Trumps deportations. www.404media.co/ice-is-using ...

That's not eminent domain, that's a straight high jacking of personal property.
An owners right to lease real estate is an interest in real property subject to condemnation like any other real property interest. Condemnation requires a court proceeding and payment of "just compensation." Thus a public record. One would think WPR would know that. Which makes the story sketchy to me.
You can find a pdf of GSA's policies on holdovers and condemnation at this link. www.google.com
Curiously, this older version and a '23 update are "not found" at the GSA site although a search provides a link.
