California Senate Advances Bill to Cap ICE Commissary Prices
Mar 23, 2026 · Sacramento, CA
California's Senate Public Safety Committee advanced Senate Bill 941, which would limit price markups on goods sold in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility commissaries to a maximum of 35% above vendor cost. The bill addresses exploitative pricing practices by private vendors, with items like soap marked up 75% and canned tuna by 300%. Supporters argue the measure protects detained immigrants and their families from predatory pricing during vulnerable circumstances.
