Overview
- Supervisors adopted a unanimous resolution opposing any correctional or immigration detention use of the former women’s federal prison in Dublin.
- The measure followed more than an hour of public comment from supporters, including activists who say thousands signed a petition against an ICE facility.
- County leaders said the resolution is symbolic because the federal government controls what happens to the 87-acre property.
- ICE and the Department of Homeland Security told KTVU there is no effort underway to convert the site into an immigration facility.
- FCI Dublin closed about two years ago after a sex-abuse scandal that led to nine officer convictions, and the now-vacant site is under environmental review after inspectors found mold and asbestos with fixes estimated at nearly $50 million.
