Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to establish three new detention facilities in Colorado in an effort to increase capacity statewide from 1,360 to 4,090, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.

The internal agency road-map document shows plans to open or expand 125 facilities to increase the capacity of ICE centers from 65,922 in July to 107,000 by the end of this year.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the Post the document was created by ICE but said it was outdated and had not been approved. The spokesperson did not elaborate on why the contracts “are not accurate,” according to reporting by the Post.

In Colorado, new facilities could be built in:

• Walsenburg at the former Huerfano County Correctional Facility with a capacity of 1,400.

• Hudson at the Big Horn Detention Facility, which does not appear to currently exist, with a capacity of 1,132.

• Ignacio at the Southern Ute Indian Adult Detention Center with a capacity of 28.

In addition, the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora would be expanded to 1,530, according the document.

The existing facility in Ignacio is one of two adult detention centers listed in the nationwide proposal. The only previous facility in Hudson was the state Hudson Correctional Facility before it closed in 2013, and it is unclear which facility it would be used in the proposal.

If the proposal is carried out, Colorado would rank sixth in the country for highest total capacity at ICE facilities.

Walsenburg Mayor Gary Vezzani told The Gazette that he did not know about the proposal beforehand and had not been contacted by federal officials. The former Huerfano County Correctional Facility has been closed since 2010 and had a capacity of 752 inmates.

Vezzani said the beds could be doubled up or the facility would have to be expanded to match the capacity of 1,400 stated within the planning document.

After the facility closed, Vezzani said Walsenburg, which has a population of around 3,000 people, lost “a major customer,” and that reopening the facility “is just economics.”

“It took quite a bit of revenue away to pay back these loans and debts and, plus, keep infrastructure running,” Vezzani said. “When all your revenue has to go to prior loans, it’s hard to keep everything running.”

Vezzani said he “doesn’t know why we wouldn’t support” the reopening of the facility and that if ICE is going to build facilities somewhere, “we might as well” house them.

The mayor said he does not believe the ICE facilities are concentration camps and said it could be a positive step for the city.

“Once you’re in custody, having a place to do something with them, I think is less inhumane than trying to stuff them somewhere and get them out of the country. I don’t see the negative side of it. Now, if there’s abuse and all that, I have no idea it’s part of our federal government, and I would think not.”

CoreCivic, the company that operated the former for-profit facilities in Hudson and Walsenburg, has discussed the facilities for ICE use this year, according to the local World Journal newspaper. In July, the company advertised for detention-officer positions at the former Huerfano County Correctional Facility.
