A Lawsuit filed by Attorney General Phil Weiser asks judge to throw out $530M GEO contract to reopen and retrofit former private prison in the town of Hudson due to environmental concerns and impacts. The town of Hudson is not part of the lawsuit and isn’t taking a side in the legal fight.

Colorado health officials on Thursday issued a new demand for information about tuberculosis at the immigrant detention center in Aurora, escalating a showdown between local and federal authorities over oversight of the facility.

The lawsuit argues the property isn’t zoned for an immigrant detention center and accuses town officials of ignoring their own land use codes by allowing the GEO Group to open one.

“Because somebody was hurt by the words that I was saying to him, that doesn't give you the right to shoot somebody.”

Colorado's health department sent an open letter to GEO Group requesting "immediate cooperation" with a public health investigation.

The new ICE detention facility would be the second largest in Colorado.

Activists plan to continue fighting the opening of a new immigration detention hub.

The private company that operate centers like the one in Aurora claims the new law oversteps the state's authority.
