California County to Shut Down Immigration Detention Facilities

Under assault by California's grotesquely unconstitutional so-called sanctuary state laws, the Orange County sheriff's department announced March 27 that it will cancel its agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide immigration detention facilities.

Attacking government-funded but privately-owned immigration detention facilities marries various factions of the Left in a common subversive enterprise.

The push to shut down the nation's privately run or contracted immigration detention centers gained momentum in the Obama era.

Left-wing activists applied pressure to the Obama administration to close privately administered immigration jails even though ICE said in 2016 that doing so would require an 800 percent increase in ICE's detention capacity because a large percentage of immigration detainees are housed in private centers.

A bill pending in the New Mexico legislature would turn that state into a sanctuary state by restricting U.S. government contracts for immigration detention centers there.

Democrat state Rep. Angelica Rubio borrowed some creepy language from black militant Ta-Nehisi Coates when she accused immigration detention facilities in New Mexico of "Profiting off people and their bodies."

She claimed the bill would "Provide some accountability and some oversight when it comes to the issue of immigration detention facilities," even though handing over such private facilities to the state government would, as any economist or student of government can tell you, actually reduce accountability and oversight.
