facility, and individuals who are awaiting a hearing on their immigration status or
deportation.
The Local Government shall accept and provide for the secure custody, safekeeping,
housing, subsistence and care of Federal detainees in accordance with all state and local
laws, standards, regulations, policies and court orders applicable to the operation of the
Facility. Detainees shall also be housed in a manner that is consistent with Federal law
and the Core Detention Standards and /or any other standards required by an authorized
agency whose detainees are housed by the Local Government pursuant to this
Agreement (see attached).
The USMS ensures the secure custody, care, and safekeeping of USMS
detainees. Accordingly, all housing or work assignments, and recreation or other
activities for USMS detainees are permitted only within secure areas of the building or

requires the immediate relocation of Federal detainees.
