“How can a State ban Federal facilities?”
They cannot. It is up to Barr to tell them to go to hell.
Consider the source of this article. The Guardian is a commie British piece of trash.
“How can a State ban Federal facilities?”
They can’t, even though they might think they can.
It’s time for Trump to take Gavin Newsom and his band of terrorists to the woodshed.
The Feds aren’t short on land in California....
I bet President Trump will build more Federeal ICE Detention Centers on these lands.
As for State prisoners.... The State of California isn’t going to build their own either because that doesn’t fit into their vision of a Peoples Paradise.
So citizens can simply look forward to less arrests with more and bolder criminals on the street because they know nobody is going to do jack $hit to them.
Enjoy your great weather you idiots!
Why waste money on any kind of justice system in California? If you’re going to release them why bother catching them in the first place?
WHAT? The same way they can declare themselves a SANCTUARY STATE, or cities declare themselves SANCTUARY CITIES. 100% ILLEGAL but the Trump administration seems OKAY WITH IT.
Immigration is a FEDERAL MATTER, so.. HOP TO IT, TRUMP. It's WAY past time to drop the hammer on these federal law breakers.
By barring all but federal prisoners in private prisons, California is just creating more prison space for federally controlled illegals.
Or... turn them all out and tell them they won’t be arrested as long as they stay in Californication.
“California Bans Private Prisons – Including Ice Detention Centers”
You invent it, you develop it and California will ban it.
Move them to North Dakota - let them spend a winter there and see if they want to stay.
“How can a State ban Federal facilities?”
We settled that question back in 1865.

Well, since we are struggling to find some way to get along with the communist Chinese lets outsource detention and repatriation of noncitizens to Communist China.
Why doesn’t President Trump tell Mexico that it can have California back provided it builds a secure wall along the Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon borders?
Remove profit motive?? How about capping OT pay for state prison guards at $100,000 a year?
“How can a State ban Federal facilities?”
they can’t ...
Does the state have the ability to forbid such contracts? Yeah, probably does. Should they? Much has been made of the 'living conditions' for those under detainment until the resolution of their case and deportation can take place. If activists had a care for those conditions, it would seem a great method would be to require specific improvements in conditions and minimum standards for a detention center.
Towards the end of the article: Servin said that while the new law was a significant victory, there was one other thing immigrants rights groups were concerned about. When several sheriffs’ departments canceled their contracts to house Ice detainees last year, instead of freeing the detainees, Ice moved many of them to prisons in Colorado and Hawaii.
One of the primary objections to these detention facilities is that they were so far away from the major cities and thus denied visitation without major effort. And now they'll have to get on a plane to Hawaii or drive to Colorado to visit, a much longer journey than the central valley.
Oh, and of course, the facilities won't really be closed - they're also used to comply with court orders regarding overcrowding of state prisoners in state facilities - that'll be just fine until 2028 or so. The state will just end up having to pay about 8 times more for each prisoner to make up for the budget shortfall from hosting ICE detainees.
Since no new facilities are currently on the drawing board in California, and only those who are facing long sentences after a career in crime are going to state prisons, it is guestimated that both of these 'shut down' private facilities will be at capacity by 2024 under current federal court orders.
Gov Gruesome will likely be out of office when the next governor will get to face the decision about commuting the sentences of murderers, rapists and child molesters to comply with overcrowding rules.
