The Northern Oregon Correctional Facility Board of Directors voted unanimously on Thursday to discontinue housing federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees. NORCOR officials say they made the decision as the overall number of those placed in the facility has declined over the past year, decreasing NORCOR’s budgetary reliance on the ICE contract. NORCOR managers say they will initiate the contractual requirements to terminate the ICE agreement, and give an update to the NORCOR board in September. NORCOR’s agreement to house ICE detainees has been the subject of protests, hunger strikes, and a lawsuit over the course of the past four years.
