California Targets Private Detention Centers | Fresno News

California lawmakers just passed three major bills targeting private immigration detention centers, aiming to crack down on unsafe conditions and halt facility expansion. Senate Bill 957 mandates annual health and safety plans from the Attorney General after six deaths in detention last year. SB 1367 bans new construction or repurposing of buildings into detention facilities, responding to two new centers opening last year that added over 3,000 beds. SB 423 requires public release of 911 and emergency records from detention centers, following revelations of withheld calls—including allegations of rape—fueling demands for transparency. These moves reflect growing pressure from advocates and families, inspired by the Masuma Khan Justice Act, pushing California toward greater accountability and oversight.
