No. 20-56172 Circuit · Decided
The Law · How the Case Works
Overview
Overview
GEO Group challenged California's AB 32 (2019), which banned for-profit private prisons and immigration detention. En banc 9th Circuit (2022) held AB 32 violates the Supremacy Clause as applied to federal ICE detention contracts. California's private-detention ban effectively enjoined for ICE-contracted facilities.
The Conclusion
Conclusion
The Ninth Circuit en banc held that California's AB 32 violates the Supremacy Clause when applied to federal ICE detention contracts. Federal law preempts the state's private detention ban where federal ICE contracts are concerned. The ban was effectively enjoined as to federally-contracted facilities.
