Leavenworth, Kansas, a city known for its prisons, has approved the reopening of a private immigrant detention center by CoreCivic. Despite a year-long legal battle, the city commission voted to grant a three-year permit for the 1,104-bed facility. The decision was met with strong opposition from locals who cited past issues, but supporters highlighted potential economic benefits. The city has implemented safeguards to address community concerns, and the facility promises to bring in $60 million annually and create jobs.
