After CO Times Recorder Revealed Secret Detention Centers in CO, 31 Lawmakers Call on ICE for 'Immediate Transparency'
https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/after-co-times-recorder-revealed-secret-detention-centers-in-co-27-lawmakers-call-on-ice-for-immediate-transparency/77113/"The day after the Colorado Times Recorder revealed that ICE has been detaining immigrants in at least nine makeshift facilities throughout Colorado, 31 state lawmakers — led by congressional candidate Manny Rutinel — sent a letter to the leaders of the Department of Homeland Security and ICE stating that the “existence of undisclosed detention sites, ‘hidden in plain sight’ between strip malls and office parks, is unacceptable.”
The lawmakers demanded “immediate transparency and reasonable notice of operations from all private entities or contractors that provide facilities, staffing, transportation, and services” for immigration enforcement operations.”
In an investigation released on Wednesday, Colorado Times Recorder columnist Logan M. Davis documented the presence of at least nine ICE “hold rooms” where ICE held 3,182 people between January and October of last year.
ICE detained people, including children and the elderly, in Colorado’s hold rooms for weeks, without beds, in violation of ICE regulations."
