California bill AB 1633 targets private immigrant detention operators with 25% tax

California's legislature passed AB 1633, imposing a 25% tax on private operators of immigrant detention centers, now awaiting Governor Newsom's signature. The bill targets companies profiting from immigration detention, potentially raising costs for operators and signaling state-level opposition to federal immigration enforcement. Its fate depends on Newsom's decision, with implications for state-federal relations and the private prison industry.
