Multiple states are set to consider legislation that would shut down immigrant detention facilities.

At the beginning of the 2023 state legislative sessions, Colorado, New Mexico, and New York are all set to consider bills that would ban private immigrant detention facilities.

The three bills, which are nearly identical to one another, would require local governments that currently have detention contracts to terminate them by January 1st, 2024.


A separate report by The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) explains:

The detention-ban bills in the three states would prohibit state agencies and local governments from:

  • Entering into detention contracts relating to a privately owned, managed or operated immigration detention facility;
  • Selling property for the purpose of establishing a privately owned, managed or operated immigration detention facility;
  • Paying any costs related to sale, purchase, construction, development, ownership, management, or operation of a privately owned, managed or operated immigration detention facility;
  • Receiving payment related to detention of illegal aliens in a privately owned, managed or operated immigration detention facility; or
  • Giving financial incentives or benefits to a private entity in connection with the sale, purchase, construction, development, ownership, or management of a privately owned, managed or operated immigration detention facility; or
  • Entering into or renewing contracts to house or detain anyone for federal civil immigration purposes.

The bills would also require local governments with existing detention contracts to terminate their contracts by January 1, 2024.

  1. Now they will be released into the states and this is way dems want them to be given amnesty and then new voters. This way we will become a demicra-socialist run country.
