ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

ICE replaced county middlemen with a direct, no-bid CoreCivic contract after New Mexico's Immigrant Safety Act. Advocates say the award skipped competitive bidding and sued for the records. ICE said CoreCivic alone could meet its needs in time.

Overview

New Mexico's Immigrant Safety Act, signed February 5, 2026, and in effect since May 20, bars counties and other public bodies from agreements to detain people for federal civil immigration violations. Torrance and Cibola counties had served as intermediaries between ICE and CoreCivic, which owns both facilities. ICE announced a sole-source contract with CoreCivic in March, and it took effect May 1. The Justice Department has sued the state over the law. In October the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center sued ICE for the contract and its written justification.

Claims

Claims separate what was said from what is contested. Follow each source for the original wording and context.

What's disputed

Disputed claim

ACLU of New Mexico

ICE sidestepped federal contracting requirements that generally require competitive bidding and a review of contractors' safety records when it gave CoreCivic a sole-source contract for the Torrance and Cibola detention centers.

What is disputed

ICE's March 10 notice cited the federal rule that allows a sole-source award when only one responsible source can meet an agency's needs. The complaint says ICE has not made public the written justification that federal rules require for such awards.

Sources (2)

Disputed claim

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

CoreCivic was the only responsible source that could meet ICE's requirements for detention services at the Cibola and Torrance facilities in the required timeframe.

What is disputed

CoreCivic owns both facilities. Advocates for detained immigrants say the award bypassed competitive bidding. ICE has not released the contract, and the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center sued in October to obtain it and its justification.

  1. ACLU of New MexicoEmma O'Sullivan, staff attorney, in the ACLU of New Mexico's press releaseDirectly involved

    Before this statement

    The ACLU of New Mexico filed the lawsuit on behalf of the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center after ICE had not produced records about its contract with CoreCivic for the Torrance and Cibola detention facilities.

    "We’re concerned that ICE just replaced one underhanded contract with another The state made it clear with the passage of the Immigrant Safety Act that New Mexico stands against the mistreatment and abuse of people in these detention facilities. ICE cannot continue to operate here without accountability."
    Condemned

    Case context: ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

    Full statement and sources

    Announcing its records lawsuit, the ACLU of New Mexico said it is concerned that ICE replaced one underhanded contract with another, and that ICE cannot keep operating in New Mexico without accountability after the Immigrant Safety Act.

    After the statement

    The release says ICE sidestepped federal contracting requirements that generally require competitive bidding and a review of contractors' safety records, and that very little information about the new contracts has been made public.

    Complaint in New Mexico Immigrant Law Center v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement · ACLU of New MexicoCase No. 1:26-cv-03471 (D.N.M.), paragraphs 1-8 and 63-108

    Why this label?

    The reference point is ICE's sole-source contract with CoreCivic to keep detaining immigrants at the Torrance and Cibola facilities after the Immigrant Safety Act. The ACLU calls it an underhanded contract and says ICE cannot operate without accountability, which criticizes the contract itself, so we labeled it Condemned. It goes beyond disputing a description of the contract, so Challenged characterization does not fit.

    This label describes the statement's response within the context above.

  2. New Mexico Immigrant Law CenterJessica I. Martínez, director of policy and coalition building, in the ACLU of New Mexico's press releaseDirectly involved

    Before this statement

    The center, represented by the ACLU of New Mexico, sued ICE on October 16, 2026, over a records request about the agency's direct contracting arrangements with CoreCivic for the Torrance and Cibola detention facilities.

    "Our communities spoke up and passed the Immigrant Safety Act to say that we refuse to be complicit in locking up immigrants, yet ICE is doing everything in its power to retain and expand Trump’s cruel detention and deportation machine in our state We’re requesting these documents because New Mexicans deserve to know why ICE and the Trump administration are attempting to evade our laws while they continue to subject people to inhumane detention."
    Condemned

    Case context: ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

    Full statement and sources

    The New Mexico Immigrant Law Center said ICE is doing everything in its power to keep and expand immigration detention in New Mexico after the Immigrant Safety Act, and that it requested the records because New Mexicans deserve to know why ICE is attempting to evade state law.

    After the statement

    The release says the records request was submitted to ICE more than a month before the lawsuit.

    Complaint in New Mexico Immigrant Law Center v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement · ACLU of New MexicoCase No. 1:26-cv-03471 (D.N.M.), paragraphs 1-8 and 63-108

    Why this label?

    The reference point is ICE's sole-source contract with CoreCivic to keep detaining immigrants at the Torrance and Cibola facilities after the Immigrant Safety Act. The center says ICE is attempting to evade state law and subjecting people to inhumane detention, which criticizes the arrangement itself, so we labeled it Condemned. It does not merely dispute how the contract is described, so Challenged characterization does not fit.

    This label describes the statement's response within the context above.

  3. U.S. Immigration and Customs EnforcementICE spokesperson Leticia Zamarripa, by email to the Santa Fe New MexicanDirectly involved

    Before this statement

    ICE's direct contract with CoreCivic for the Cibola and Torrance detention facilities replaced the counties as intermediaries ahead of the Immigrant Safety Act's May 20 effective date.

    "ICE spokesperson Leticia Zamarripa wrote in an email Wednesday evening confirmed the contract was awarded April 30 with a start date of May 1, but declined to provide a copy of the contract or answer other questions."
    Explicitly stayed out

    Case context: ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

    Full statement and sources

    An ICE spokesperson confirmed by email that the contract with CoreCivic was awarded April 30 with a May 1 start date, and declined to provide a copy or answer other questions, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported.

    After the statement

    The newspaper reported that the details, including the total contracted cap, were not publicly available, and that the USAspending.gov database showed $13.4 million awarded so far, with the contract set to last until April 30, 2027.

    Santa Fe New Mexican report: Cibola and Torrance immigrant lockups to stay open; feds contract with prison companyParagraphs on ICE's confirmation, Innovation Law Lab and the Cibola County manager

    Why this label?

    The reference point is ICE's sole-source contract with CoreCivic to keep detaining immigrants at the Torrance and Cibola facilities after the Immigrant Safety Act. ICE confirmed the award and its dates but declined to provide the contract or answer further questions, so we labeled it Explicitly declined. It offers no defense or explanation of the award, so Defended or excused does not fit.

    This label describes the statement's response within the context above.

  4. CoreCivicA CoreCivic spokesperson, responding to the Santa Fe New MexicanDirectly involved

    Before this statement

    Leaders of Torrance and Cibola counties were waiting for ICE and CoreCivic to finalize a direct contract that would let both CoreCivic-owned detention centers stay open once the Immigrant Safety Act took effect on May 20.

    "A spokesperson for CoreCivic declined to answer questions Tuesday, stating only, “Our priority is to continue caring for each person in our facilities respectfully and humanely,” and directing further questions to ICE."
    Explicitly stayed out

    Case context: ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

    Full statement and sources

    A CoreCivic spokesperson declined to answer the Santa Fe New Mexican's questions about a direct ICE contract for the Torrance and Cibola facilities, said the company's priority is caring for people in its facilities respectfully and humanely, and referred further questions to ICE.

    After the statement

    The newspaper reported that ICE did not respond to its questions.

    Why this label?

    The reference point is ICE's sole-source contract with CoreCivic to keep detaining immigrants at the Torrance and Cibola facilities. CoreCivic declined to answer questions about the contract and referred them to ICE, offering only a general statement about its care of detainees, so we labeled it Explicitly declined. The statement does not take up the contract or how it was awarded, so Defended or excused does not fit.

    This label describes the statement's response within the context above.

  5. New Mexico Immigrant Law CenterJessica Martinez, policy director, in an interview with the Santa Fe New MexicanDirectly involved

    Before this statement

    ICE published a notice on the federal contracting site on March 10, 2026, of its intent to contract directly with CoreCivic for the Cibola and Torrance detention facilities. The notice was not a request for bids.

    "The requirements of the federal procurement processes are there so that we could have transparency, accountability It protects the taxpayers. Circumventing this process is a really, really major red flag"
    Condemned

    Case context: ICE gives CoreCivic a no-bid contract to keep two New Mexico detention centers open; advocates sue for the records

    Full statement and sources

    The New Mexico Immigrant Law Center's policy director said federal procurement rules exist for transparency and accountability and protect taxpayers, and called ICE's move to skip competitive bidding a really major red flag.

    After the statement

    Martinez told the newspaper that a competitive bidding process would allow public input and would have let legal advocates raise concerns about conditions at CoreCivic's facilities.

    Why this label?

    The reference point is ICE's sole-source contract with CoreCivic to keep detaining immigrants at the Torrance and Cibola facilities after the Immigrant Safety Act. The center's policy director calls bypassing competitive bidding a major red flag, which criticizes how the contract was awarded, so we labeled it Condemned. The objection is to the award itself, not to a label for it, so Challenged characterization does not fit.

    This label describes the statement's response within the context above.
