The foreign nationals will be scheduled for a deportation hearing in a US Immigration court. The blue uniform denotes they are classified as not being violent. Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), based in Nashville, Tennasee, manages the 1000 inmate California detention center it leases from San Diego county.

Many violators of immigration laws flee before their cases come to trial. It is estimated that some 6.3 million illegal Mexican immigrants live in the US and some 485,000 undocumented Mexican immigrants enter the US annually.
