“I know there's been a temporary pause. I'm curious if that's a new policy or if you're just waiting for the investigation to come. We're not pausing on getting detention centers because unfortunately We have states like California now, New York, Washington, Oregon, that saying that we're not able to use any of the detention facilities in their state. so we have to then purchase our own detention centers because they can't prevent us from doing it. They're just saying that you're not allowed to use any state facilities.” (13:27–13:39)
