DETENTION CENTER EMPLOYEES OPPORTUNITIES

Summary

House Memorial 51 asks New Mexico’s Economic Development, Workforce Solutions, Children, Youth & Families, Corrections, and Health Care agencies to examine how employees of three state‑contracted immigration detention centers could be re‑employed and how the physical plants might be repurposed. The goal is to mitigate job loss if immigration detention contracts end and to explore ways the sites could support rural economic development or community needs. The studies must be completed by October 1, 2026.
