Immigration agency plans new family detention centers

The federal ICE, which already runs two such facilities, is taking bids for as many as three more. Critics say detaining families is punitive and unnecessary.

By Anna Gorman, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

The federal government is accepting bids for up to three new family detention centers that would house as many as 600 men, women and children fighting deportation cases.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a call for proposals last month and set June 16 as the deadline. New facilities are being considered on both coasts and on the Southwestern border. The agency calls for minimum-security residential facilities that would provide a “least restrictive, nonsecure settingâ€

Family Friendly!!!

Family detention has been condemned by human rights groups and immigrant rights organizations as punitive and unnecessary.

Illegal Immigrant Rights, is more like it!

But immigration authorities said it ensures that immigrants show up for their court hearings and leave the country when ordered deported.

Maks sense. How many times do the illegals flee, what do they care, they already are criminals!

Hopefully they will build them in muejico.....
