The sanctuary state of Washington has been hit with a lawsuit over a law signed by Gov. Jay Inslee (D) that will close down facilities where the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency holds criminal illegal aliens.
Last month, Inslee signed into law a plan that bans privately operated detention facilities and prisons, ensuring that ICE’s Northwest Immigration Processing Center (NIPC) in Tacoma, Washington ,operated by the GEO Group that can hold more than 1,500 criminal illegal aliens – will be shuttered.
GEO Group has now filed a lawsuit against Inslee, alleging that the law is unconstitutional because it violates federal immigration law and subverts federally approved funding for federal immigration detention facilities.
Biden Drastically Cuts Number of Criminal Illegal Aliens in Federal Custody
12 May 2021
President Joe Biden has drastically cut the number of criminal illegal aliens in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The latest data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University shows that as of May 3, just a little more than 5,200 criminal illegal aliens were in ICE custody.
Compare that total to the number of criminal illegal aliens ICE had detained in May 2019, when more than 23,200 were in federal custody. The drop in ICE detainment of criminal illegal aliens represents a 78 percent decrease compared to the same time two years ago when agents had broad authority to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

Washington Post.
