A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to tour the ICE detention facility in Aurora, Colo., owned and operated by The GEO Group. This facility has been at the center of the immigration-enforcement debate ever since protesters replaced the facility's American flag with a Mexican flag and defaced a Blue Lives Matter flag earlier this summer. That event prompted the Denver City Council to cancel all existing contracts with the prison company, putting the future of several halfway houses at risk.
The "Abolish ICE" protesters said they were protesting against the treatment of the inmates at the facility, but I saw conditions that treated inmates humanely and with care.
The facility holds about 1,400 illegal-alien inmates. Approximately 15% are women, and no one under the age of 18 has ever been detained at the facility. GEO says the facility has never exceeded capacity.
