• Kansas tribal leader 'heartbroken' over ICE detention center contract. He wants to cancel it (kcur.org) — Garden City is directly tied into Kansas’ immigration detention network through the Finney County jail, which holds ICE detainees alongside facilities in Cottonwood Falls and Leavenworth. A Kansas tribal leader now wants to cancel a multimillion-dollar federal contract his tribe’s business arm signed to design new detention centers, saying the deal conflicts with tribal values and echoes historic injustices. His push could affect how future detention facilities are built and operated in the state.
