Show Notes
Leavenworth, Kansas city commissioners approved a special use permit for CoreCivic to reopen its facility as a federal detention center for ICE detainees, despite community pushback and legal battles. The Midwest Regional Reception Center could hold up to one thousand people, with CoreCivic securing new ICE contracts last year. The facility had previously faced issues with violence and management, but federal pressure and lawsuits led to the citys decision. The permit lasts three years, and a community oversight board has been established to address concerns.
