CALIFORNIA COUNTY TO SHUT DOWN IMMIGRATION DETENTION FACILITIES

FPM: Under assault by California’s grotesquely unconstitutional so-called sanctuary state laws, the Orange County sheriff’s department announced March 27 that it will cancel its agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide immigration detention facilities.

Although hosting ICE detainees can be a profit center for some cash-strapped local governments, leftists across America are hellbent on shutting down prison facilities, especially those that are privately owned or administered. Private and privately-run prisons consistently outperform those that governments maintain.

Attacking government-funded but privately-owned immigration detention facilities marries various factions of the Left in a common subversive enterprise.

Open-borders fanatics get to strike a blow for immigration anarchy and promote the breakdown of law and order. Anti-incarceration activists like those in the violent, cop-hating Black Lives Matter movement get the satisfaction of unleashing lawbreakers on society. And labor leaders get new union members as government facilities have to be expanded to pick up the slack.

The OC sheriff has been leasing bed spaces to ICE since 2010 but the contract with the feds lapses in July 2020, The Epoch Times reports. The contract contains an early termination provision and Sheriff Don Barnes, a Republican serving in the officially nonpartisan post, has invoked it which means when the contract runs out ICE will have to relocate its detainees within 120 days, in this case, to facilities outside California.

“I want to make clear that the decision to end the ICE agreement is not a result of the recent political rhetoric surrounding immigration,” Barnes said. “Our nine-year leasing agreement has been mutually beneficial and a benefit to Orange County taxpayers.” read more

  1. Just let all the illegals loose/live in California if they want to protect them so much. Better yet give it back to Mexico and build border along state line.

  2. Drop all illegal boarder crosser’s off in L.A. the new holding camp. Our new boarder should be on the Arizona, Nevada, Oregon line. California has nothing we need. After they have been ruined then we can go back and reclaim the ports, farms and parks.
