The Trump administration plans to expand ICE detention capacity in Colorado by opening multiple new facilities, including a proposed expansion in Hudson that would increase statewide capacity from approximately 1,500 to more than 2,700 beds. Colorado's congressional delegation, including Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen and Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, demanded in February 2026 that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem abandon the Hudson facility plans, citing concerns about detainee treatment, legal access, and oversight. Over 3,000 migrant detainees were held in Colorado's ICE network in 2025, including 39 children ages 9 or younger, with arrests in the field office increasing nearly 300 percent since Trump took office.
