California enacts first statewide tax on private immigration detention firms
Original: Governor Newsom Signs First-in-the-Nation Tax on Private Immigration Detention Corporations
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a first-in-the-nation law imposing a tax on private corporations that operate immigration detention facilities in California. The California Immigrant Policy Center welcomed the measure, which is framed as a way to make for-profit detention of immigrants more costly. Supporters see it as a precedent other states could follow in restricting the private immigration detention industry.
Why now: The signing of an unprecedented state tax on private immigration detention companies is a novel policy step likely to influence debate in other states.
