We are disappointed in the Third Circuit’s ruling this morning invalidating our law prohibiting private immigration detention. As recent events at Delaney Hall underscore, entrusting detention to for-profit companies poses grave risks to health and safety, and as the dissenting judge noted, States retain broad latitude to protect the health and safety of people within their borders – particularly where, as here, there is no conflict with federal legislation. We will continue to do all we can to defend these important goals and are evaluating our next steps in this case.
