CoreCivic Kills People. Leavenworth Is Voting on Whether to Let Them Do It Here. Leavenworth was founded by pro-slavery settlers and became the epicenter of Bleeding Kansas. That same city votes today on whether to resurrect a CoreCivic detention facility — a company that has already killed people in its custody — and open a 1,000-bed ICE camp to kidnap, cage, and disappear immigrants from our region. The shackles have always looked different here. This morning, Leavenworth decides what they look like in 2026.

"[T]he return of CoreCivic to Leavenworth carries such a deep historical weight."

"The haunting and once distant stain on the history of Kansas – Leavenworth's pro-slavery past – is once again knocking on the door."
