CBS News Colorado: The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado is suing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an effort to obtain records about plans to turn two vacant state prisons into immigration detention facilities.

ICE has been working on a plan to reopen the Hudson Correctional Facility, about 35 miles northeast of Denver, and the Huerfano County Correctional Center in Walsenburg, about 160 miles south of Denver. The agency is also considering expanding existing detention centers in Aurora and Ignacio.

The new federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit argues that ICE has failed to respond to public records requests related to its plans.
