Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is investigating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility for possible violations of its special use permit, including detaining individuals for longer than the allowed 12 hours. City officials may revoke the permit if violations are confirmed, potentially leading to the facility's closure.

ICE holding facilities are typically used to process and detain people before they are transferred to a larger detention center or released. They often consist of small concrete rooms with no beds and are not designed for overnight use.
