The Trump administration is looking at bringing as many as six new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities to Colorado as part of President Donald Trump's mass deportation plan – including two in Colorado Springs.
Federal documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit show that five of six proposed facilities are in southern Colorado: two in Walsenburg, one in La Junta, and two in Colorado Springs. The last proposed location is in Hudson, which is northeast of Denver.
The proposed Colorado Springs locations are the former Parkmoor Village Healthcare Center, off North Academy in northeast Colorado Springs, and the former Cheyenne Mountain Reentry Center on East Las Vegas Street in southeast Colorado Springs.
The Cheyenne Mountain Reentry Center is a former prison, shut down in 2020 as part of Governor Jared Polis' plan to shift Colorado away from private prisons. It's owned by the Florida-based Geo Group, one of the largest prison companies in the United States.

ICE gearing up for a big push in Colorado?
No mentions of attached airstrips, which is what made the Florida center so attractive.
pot stirring.
let the flavor blend into everything.

not seeing any dei crap at the website.
Wait! Isn’t Colorado a woke state?
Please let that be the case.
Not sure why Colorado Springs. They should look into Canon City, where all the other prisons and SuperMax are located.
Here is a positive result of the deportations:
Fox News:
American-born workers see significant job gains as foreign-born employment drops
Border Hawk:
The U.S. economy has added nearly 700,000 new jobs since January, with “American-born workers accounting for all job gains,” according to the White House.
LOL! I love it. Put one in Boulder also.
How about putting them in RED states?
“ICE gearing up for a big push in Colorado?”
In twenty years we’ve turned into CaliMex.
Oh good... Trump is building nice concentration camps for us when it is the democrat’s turn again.
Colorado Springs has deteriorated RAPIDLY over the last several years, but it still has a heavy Republican presence.
Plus, given the proximity to various military bases, security would be easier to accommodate compared to a Leftist bastion like Denver.
“Wait! Isn’t Colorado a woke state?”
The cities are, especially where there is a college. The Californians are piling in and they’re bringing their vermin with them. Our c**k gobbling governor spent $350 mil on illegals and wants to raise taxes on us cause they’re out of money and they haven’t even fixed the roads.
Colorado Springs has the dual advantage of being close to the supply without being overrun by leftist malcontents.
If you want to gather your prospective quarry in one place, you need to put your bait in areas where they congregate ...
“Put one in Boulder also.”
I’ll split it with you, halfway between Boulder and Longmont.
? What’s your solution? Not have detention centers so we can’t process the millions of illegal immigrants we have here?
Colorado Springs (where the article is talking about) has a sizeable military community with the Air Force academy. Even some of the young adults there who aren’t in the military have somewhat of a pro-America vibe. I say “somewhat” because when I visited that part of Colorado years ago I could still tell I wasn’t in red state Alabama.
