Torrance County commissioners in New Mexico have extended their ICE detention contract by one month, keeping the CoreCivic-run prison open for federal immigration detainees. This decision, made this Tuesday, comes despite warnings from the states Department of Justice that any contract extensions are likely improper and invalid. The original deal was set to expire on October 31, 2025, but has been renewed in short-term increments since then. The extension has sparked controversy, with some residents supporting it for job and revenue benefits, while others criticize the human cost and state overreach. New Mexicos recent law banning counties from ICE deals will take effect in May, potentially reshaping detention in the Southwest.
