ICE’s New Detention Center Contracts Declare State Laws ‘Shall Not Apply’

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has posted new contract terms at four detention facilities that would exempt them from state oversight, occurring immediately after a federal judge ordered an ICE facility to allow state health inspectors access. The contract language declares that state laws 'shall not apply' at these locations.

Why it matters: Security practitioners and compliance officers at state health and regulatory agencies need to understand how federal contracts can supersede state jurisdiction, which affects their ability to conduct oversight and enforce standards at these facilities.
