16 months after ICE prison contract ended, York County gives feds a deadline
York Dispatch
Since the 1990s, the York County Prison has contracted with the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to house detainees, generating millions of dollars in revenue for the county.
Last year alone, the county received $18.4 million from the bed-day rate for ICE detainees, with the caveat that much of that goes into costs and upkeep.
Now, that contract may be in jeopardy.
The prison board voted 6-0 at its last meeting, April 13, to trigger a 120-day clause in the ICE contract, after which York County could walk away if it doesn t reach a deal with the federal government.
