Grijalva, Activists Say Marana ICE Detention Center Is “Not a Done Deal”

Rep. Adelita Grijalva and Pima Resists ICE spoke at an October 6 press conference a week after Management and Training Corporation announced a contract with ICE, signed September 29, to open a detention center within 60 days at the former Marana state prison. They cited MTC’s history and an unresolved capacity: MTC says 775 beds, while a DHS floodplain report listed 1,300.
