California is at it again. As if their homeless population, drug needle and poop accumulating on the streets weren’t bad enough, they’ve come up with another brilliant idea. They are going to ban all privately run ICE detention centers. All it needs now is goofy Gavin Newsom’s signature, then it goes into effect, and starts shutting down detention center as of January 1, 2020. What does this mean for the hundreds of more illegal aliens in these detention centers? There’s not a lot of explaining on that, but they likely will just be set free into California.

California is set to deliver a major blow to the private prison industry after lawmakers voted to ban private prisons, including privately run U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers across the state.
On Wednesday, 65 California State Assembly members voted in favor of AB-32, the new legislation seeking to ban private prisons, while 11 members voted against it.
The legislation still needs to be signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom before it can become law, but he is expected to support the ban, given that he himself called for an end to the “outrage of private prisons once and for all” in his inaugural speech in January.
If signed, the new legislation would come into effect after the 2020 presidential election “on or after January 1, 2020” and would prohibit California’s government from “entering into or renewing a contract with a private, for-profit prison to incarcerate state inmates.”
