In October, California became the first state to kick out privately run immigrant detention centers. The law goes into effect on Jan. 1.

— a request for offers — to a federal website seeking at least four detention facilities around the state. Details for the request, including location and bed space, appeared to closely match existing facilities. ICE specified that facilities needed to be “turnkey ready” by the start of the contract. Interested companies had two weeks to respond.

“State laws aimed at obstructing federal law enforcement are inappropriate and harmful,” Hughes said in a statement. The GEO Group runs the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in San Bernardino County and the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center near Bakersfield. CoreCivic operates the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego. Management & Training Corp. runs the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico., GEO Group announced the contracts expanding the Adelanto and Mesa Verde facilities. The contracts have terms of 15 years, inclusive of two five-year extensions.

“These contracts will help the agency meet its need for processing center beds in California, avoiding the need to send individuals to other states away from their families and legal counsel, while also supporting 1,200 jobs in communities we have partnered with for 30 years,” said a company spokesperson.
