Colorado towns are in the dark about whether ICE will reopen private prisons in their communities
By Taylor Dolven


The murkiness about ICE’s plans comes as immigration arrests quadrupled in Colorado between Jan. 20 and June 26 compared with the same time period last year, according to a Colorado Sun review of ICE data. But,the Aurora detention facility appears to have many empty beds. As of June 23, ICE was holding an average of 1,159 people each day at the Aurora facility, according to ICE data published by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research group at Syracuse University, far below its capacity of 1,532 people.
