Arizona is a frontline state for immigration enforcement with approximately 2,700 ICE detainees held daily. Its proximity to the border makes it one of the most active detention states.
Arizona is one of the most active states for immigration enforcement due to its proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border. The state holds approximately 2,700 ICE detainees on any given day and is served by the ICE Phoenix Field Office.
The Florence Service Processing Center is one of the oldest and largest ICE facilities in the country. The Eloy Detention Center and La Palma Correctional Center also hold significant numbers of immigration detainees. Arizona has also been identified as a site for detention expansion, with a recent warehouse purchase for a planned 1,500-bed facility.
The remote location of many Arizona facilities creates challenges for detainees seeking legal representation, making federal habeas corpus petitions a critical tool for challenging unlawful detention.
