A new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility meant for immigrants facing deportation is set to open in the small town of Hudson, Colorado, about thirty miles from Denver in Weld County.

The former Hudson Correctional Facility , closed since 2014, will open as President Donald Trump carries out aggressive deportation plans , including in the Denver metro area, where hundreds have been detained by ICE for removal from the U.S.

The Denver Post first reported the story on Tuesday, August 12. The office of United States House Representative Brittany Pettersen confirmed the report, adding that Congressmembers were told during a visit to the Aurora ICE detention facility on Monday, August 11, that ICE plans to open a new facility in Hudson.
