A California law banning private prisons and immigrant detention facilities in the state violates the U.S. Constitution when applied to facilities operated on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal appellate court ruled Monday.The 11-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that
California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta wrote the bill when he was an assemblyman in the Legislature. In a statement to The Times, his office said it was still reviewing the decision Monday but was “deeply disappointed” with it. Immigrant advocates submitted written arguments in the case, in which they accused GEO Group and other private prison operators in the state of allowing poor conditions and substandard medical care for detainees. The companies have denied the allegations.
It would affect thousands of immigration beds in the state. Florida-based GEO Group has said the law would also cost it hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. Joining GEO Group in suing the state, the federal government has argued — including under Biden — that the state law left it in an impossible situation and represented an overreach by the state.
