Summary
Hudson, Colorado, is seeing a hiring push for the Big Horn Detention Facility, with GEO Group advertising dozens of roles ahead of ICE's planned reopening of the shuttered prison.
Job postings list detention officers at $35 an hour, case processing staff at $39 an hour, and supervisor or administrator roles paying $80,000 to $130,000 a year.
Two dozen job categories are open, with applications set to close on August 7 or 14, while ICE declined to say when the detention center will begin operating.
A lawsuit from faith and community leaders is pending in Weld County District Court, arguing Hudson should require a zoning review, though the town manager says the town lacks authority over the federal use.
