URGING ALL COUNTY PLANNING AND PERMITTING AGENCIES TO DENY ALL PERMIT APPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION, EXPANSION, OR USE OF WAREHOUSES BY UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETAINING INDIVIDUALS FACING DEPORTATION.

Summary

The House resolution calls on every county planning and permitting agency in Hawaii to refuse any permit applications that would allow the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to build, expand, or use warehouses as detention centers. It targets projects intended to hold people facing deportation and aims to protect detainees’ access to families, counsel, and due process. The measure reflects concerns about health, safety, and the humanitarian impact of mass‑incarceration in non‑traditional facilities.
