California lawmakers take aim at corporations profiting from ICE detention

Описание: California lawmakers have introduced new legislation aimed at increasing state oversight of immigration enforcement by targeting corporations that contract with ICE. One proposal, AB 1633 by Assemblymember Matt Haney, would impose a 50% tax on corporate profits from immigration detention operations, with the revenue redirected to immigration services such as legal representation. A second bill by Assemblymember Alex Lee would eliminate state tax breaks for companies that do business with ICE, forcing corporations to choose between California tax benefits and ICE-related profits. The bills focus on for-profit detention operators including CoreCivic, GEO Group, and Management and Training Corporation. Company representatives say contractors do not make decisions about arrests or detention terms.
