flag Spokane proposes a year-long ban on leasing private property for federal immigration detention facilities.

flag Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has introduced an emergency ordinance to ban private property leases for federal immigration detention facilities, citing concerns over conditions and expanding federal enforcement. flag The one-year ban, which would apply citywide and exclude only "Essential Public Facilities," aims to close a legal gap allowing such facilities on leased land. flag While no ICE detention center currently operates in Spokane, the move follows national trends and aims to uphold public safety and due process. flag The proposal, supported by City Councilmember Paul Dillon, would reinforce Washington state law banning private detention operations.
