    Demand fuels expansion of Southern California's largest immigrant detention center

    Demand fuels expansion of Southern California's largest immigrant detention center

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    July 08, 2014 - 2:28 pm EDT

    ADELANTO, California — Southern California's largest immigrant detention center is adding 650 beds as part of an expansion that will help ease overflow in the Los Angeles area.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1lR11ll) that the expansion is necessary to meet demand in the region.


    An expansion project at the immigration detention center in Adelanto, about 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles, will also add a women's housing unit to what has been a facility for men.


    The expansion will bring the center's capacity to about 2,000 detainees. The facility holds those awaiting return to their home country or resolution of their immigration cases.


    Immigrant advocacy groups oppose the facility's expansion, arguing that adding capacity to detention facilities should not be a priority.

    Immigrant detention center expanding in Southern California

    July 9, 2014



    U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) is adding beds to the largest immigrant detention center in Southern California. [LA Times]
    The detention center in the high desert town of Adelanto, 40 miles north of San Bernardino, currently has the capacity to house 1,300 men.

    A construction project is underway that will add 650 beds, including a women’s housing unit.

    ICE officials say that an increasing number of immigration arrests are occurring in the Los Angeles area. ICE tries to house the detainees near the areas of their arrests.

    A Florida based company called the GEO Group runs the detention facility in Adelanto. GEO contracts with the city of Adelanto, which has an agreement with ICE to house the detainees.Adelanto, which has an 18 percent unemployment rate and a $2.6 million budget deficit, earns 75 cents per day from GEO for every detention bed filled.

    City officials support the expansion of the facility because it would boost the city’s struggling economy.
    “It takes an existing facility, expands it, and creates more jobs,” City Manager Jim Hart said. “That’s a financial benefit for the city.”Adelanto is also home to a San Bernardino County jail and a state prison.

    Immigrant advocacy groups oppose the detention center expansion. They say detainees receive poor quality food, inadequate health care and not enough time to work on their cases.“Resources should go to help the children seeking asylum, not to grow private prisons,” said Luis Nolasco of the Justice for Immigrants coalition.
