CoreCivic Sells Leavenworth Facility | Lawrence News

CoreCivic just sold two immigration detention facilities — one in Leavenworth, Kansas, and another in Minnesota — to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, despite city officials’ fierce resistance aimed at ensuring humane treatment. Though CoreCivic will continue operating the sites, the sale dismantles local safeguards like staffing rules and community oversight, raising alarms over lost tax revenue and uncertain future payments for police services. The Sisters of Charity, who opposed the prison’s reopening, demand full transparency on how the facility will be used moving forward. With the deals totaling over $700 million, the city now faces legal uncertainty around its special use permit and long-term financial impact.
