Kansas city files lawsuit to block planned ICE detention center

Leavenworth, Kansas, a city long tied to the corrections industry, is deeply divided over plans to reopen a detention facility as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center. CoreCivic, a private prison company that operated a federal detention facility in the city until 2021, intends to house immigration detainees at the same location. The move has prompted strong reactions: some residents and local leaders argue that the center would bring jobs and revenue to the city, while others fear a repeat of safety issues, understaffing, and violence that plagued the facility in its final years of operation.

City officials have filed lawsuits against CoreCivic, arguing that the company needs a new special-use permit, while the company insists it is grandfathered in and free to reopen. Supporters say the facility could bring over 100 jobs paying around $28 an hour and boost the local economy. Opponents cite past reports of violence and unsafe conditions, including a 2021 attack that left two corrections officers severely injured. The debate has become a flashpoint for national immigration policies, with some residents viewing the plan as a necessary step for public safety, while others warn it could entrench the city’s identity as a “prison town.” A judge has temporarily blocked CoreCivic from housing detainees as the legal dispute continues.
