Douglas County proposes housing ICE detainees to earn $5.5M–$6.5M per 100 beds, citing cost and convenience, but county board hasn’t acted yet.
Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson has proposed a contract with ICE to house immigration detainees at the county jail, citing available space, potential revenue of $5.5 million to $6.5 million per 100 beds, and benefits like proximity to families, legal counsel, and courts.
The plan follows a recent ICE raid in Omaha and aims to reduce long-distance travel for court appearances and family visits.
While Hanson says discussions with LULAC yielded positive feedback on humane treatment, LULAC opposes a formal contract with ICE.
The county board has not yet considered the proposal and does not plan to address it soon.
