Forty-two men were flown to Alaska on Monday for detainment after they were arrested outside of the state by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Alaska Department of Corrections is now holding 40 men after two were transferred, agency spokesperson Betsy Holley told News from the States. These men were taken in under an “existing contract for federal detainees,” and the department will receive $223.70 per man per day, Alaska Deputy DOC Commissioner April Wilkerson told Alaska Public Media.
