"Just west of downtown Glenwood Springs, perched between Midland Avenue and Interstate 70, a strip mall houses a gym, a chiropractor’s office, a tax accountant, and on the far end of the building, one less-common tenant: an ICE detention facility, one of at least nine such secretive facilities in the state.
Between January and October of last year, 3,182 individuals were held in at least one of the nine facilities. The oldest was 91-years-old; the youngest was a 1-year-old girl. Many detainees were held for weeks at a time in rooms without beds, well in excess of the agency’s own internal rules for the small detention facilities, most of which are tucked into strip malls and industrial parks around the state.
On the official detention facilities page of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s website, the agency lists only one facility in Colorado: the Aurora Detention Center managed by the GEO Group. In addition to the GEO facility, there have been headlines in recent months about ICE’s desire to open two new detention facilities in the state, one in Hudson and the other in Walsenburg.
Data obtained by the Data Deportation Project via Freedom of Information Act request, and analyzed by the Colorado Times Recorder, though, shows that the agency’s footprint of detention facilities in Colorado is much wider than previously thought, including small, nondescript holding facilities like the one in a strip mall in Glenwood Springs. While some of these locations are listed in agency documentation as field offices or sub-offices, federal data reveals in no uncertain terms that they double as detention facilities, housing thousands of detained Coloradans in the last year alone.
