Accountability dossier

Cibola County Correctional Center is a current ICE facility at 2000 Cibola Loop in Milan, New Mexico, with CoreCivic named in the reviewed company record. ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook reports an average daily population of 222.5 against a printed guaranteed minimum of 314, and an Office of Detention Oversight inspection ending February 27, 2025 marked Pass. A facility-specific federal oversight record exists and is indexed here as existing — no finding, recommendation count or condition is published from it, because none was extracted with a page or section locator. Operator dates, the local agreement, the payment terms and the facility's harm record remain open rather than filled in.

Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 21, 2026

Published as partial. Identity, the company relationship as the company states it, the existence of a facility-specific oversight record and the workbook snapshot are established. Operator dates, the local agreement, the contract economics, oversight findings and any harm record are not.

Identity caution — rows kept separate

Three New Mexico facilities are held apart, never merged

Cibola County Correctional Center in Milan is its own workbook row. Torrance County Detention Facility in Estancia and Otero County Processing Center in Chaparral are separate facilities with their own rows, their own agreements and their own oversight histories. County-level records that do not name this correctional center are not attached to it.

What this does not establish

Nothing about the other facilities' operators, agreements, inspections or populations, and nothing that would justify combining their figures.

Harm records indexed here (observed / attributed)

Observed means an official record documents it. Attributed means a named source reached the finding. The two are never summed.

B

Who is involved, and on what basis

  • No effective period printed in the indexed record

    CoreCivic's own facility page names Cibola County Correctional Center and describes the company running it. No reviewed source prints a start date, so none is carried, and no award is used to infer the role.

    What this does not establish

    When operation began, the deed date, every service subcontract, current government payments, or independent facility conditions.

  • Federal agencyU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    No effective period printed in the indexed record

    ICE maintains a facility record for Cibola County Correctional Center and prints it as its own row in the fiscal 2026 detention-statistics workbook, classed as an intergovernmental service agreement.

    What this does not establish

    The identity of the local intergovernmental counterparty, the executed agreement, the per diem, or any payment amount for this facility.

C

Money, population, inspections, litigation and harm on one calendar

The facility record beside the money record

Lanes are shown side by side because they share a facility and a calendar, not a cause. Chronological proximity does not establish causation.

Only dated events are plotted. Records carrying an as-of or dataset-cutoff date, such as ICE’s fiscal-year population aggregates, are listed in the table instead, because a data-pull date is not the date something happened.

Facility evidence records by date, lane, evidence status and source.

Open research questions

These are the gaps the reviewed record set names. A question listed here is unanswered, not answered in the facility's favour, and this list does not claim to cover everything unknown about the facility.

  1. No page-level extraction from the facility-specific oversight record

    Searched — nothing released

    The oversight record naming this facility was not reachable during the packet's own URL validation, and no report date, page or section locator was extracted. Medical, mental-health, segregation, grievance, use-of-force, staffing and recommendation detail is therefore withheld rather than summarised. Locator: Batch 05 packet source docket.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    That the record contains no findings, that any recommendation was closed, or that conditions were adequate.

  2. No reviewed agreement naming the local intermediary or the economics

    Searched — nothing released

    ICE classes the facility as an intergovernmental service agreement, but no reviewed agreement names the local entity holding it, the per diem, the guarantee payment, the obligation or the outlay. The county in the facility's name is not evidence of the counterparty. Locator: ICE FY2026 workbook row.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    That no such agreement exists, or that Cibola County is or is not a party to one.

  3. No facility-specific harm record published

    Searched — nothing released

    No death, medical-emergency or unit-specific record naming this facility is published here. Any lead waits on a primary case source that names the person, the date, the custody location and the record's boundary. Locator: Batch 05 packet source docket.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    Absence from the records published here does not establish that no one died or was harmed at this facility.
