Ban on State Support for Immigration Detention

Wisconsin taxpayers should not be funding the detention of immigrants. This bill makes it clear: no state or local facilities, no tax dollars, no infrastructure in Wisconsin can be used to detain people solely because of their immigration status. This is not just about money; it’s about moral clarity. We are already struggling with some of the most inhumane jail and prison conditions in the country — overcrowding, understaffing, and neglect.
