Show Notes
Otero County commissioners in New Mexico rushed through a new five-year contract with ICE, bypassing public notice and state law, to keep their immigration detention center open and secure a key revenue stream. The county faces significant debt and potential foreclosure, with 284 jobs and millions in taxes at stake. The new deal, worth over $283 million, allows ICE to end it anytime but blocks the county from doing so early. As litigation looms, the county prepares to fight for its financial footing amid the coming law.
