LOS ANGELES—Immigration authorities will add another 1,300 beds to detain suspected illegal immigrants in Southern California.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday announced an agreement for a facility in the city of Adelanto to create more bed space in a region where a substantial number of immigrants are detained.

The city is partnering with Boca Raton, Fla.-based The GEO Group to oversee the facility.

Immigration authorities have been expanding detention space in Southern California. Last year, authorities inked an agreement with Orange County to start using roughly 830 beds that were previously used by inmates in the county jails.

Immigration authorities say they are trying to cut down on transfers of detainees, which have been criticized by advocates trying to represent the immigrants in court.

Let's limit them to one night here to rest up before before we deport them.

Let's hope they actually use them and there just not props in our political theatre

They really use them.

38,828 people in California deported through Secure Communities between May 2009 and March of this year.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATE.

Unfortunately the Feds don't drive around rounding up people, they only deport people who have been brought to the county jails by local cops and identified as illegal aliens by The Secure Communities Program.

I know they have to follow the rules too bad the illegals don't. Hopefully that will change and we'll get our country back!
