ICE Awards Immigration Detention Contracts Before New Law Bans Them

California is moving to ban private immigration detention centers with a new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The law prohibits new contracts for private prisons and aims to end over-incarceration. Currently, four private prisons operated by GEO Group will be shut down after their contracts expire. However, there is a conflict between state and federal laws regarding immigration detention. Additionally, Newsom has signed a law providing government-subsidized healthcare to some immigrants living illegally in the US.
