Democrats call out Geo, CoreCivic in ask for probe of Trump immigration deals
In a letter sent Monday to the inspectors general for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense by a group of Democrats led by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, the lawmakers express concern that immigration contractors are "potentially receiving lucrative, no-bid contracts" because of their proximity to Trump administration officials and ask for an inquiry into personal, professional and financial ties between those officials and contractors.
The letter specifically calls out Geo Group (GEO) and CoreCivic (CXW), stating in part: "Immigration detention is increasingly privatized, with over 90 percent of detention beds managed by private companies, up from 81 percent at the end of the first Trump Administration. Two companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, dominate the immigration detention market and make roughly a third of their revenue from contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And now, the Trump Administration is paying contractors to detain immigrants on military bases."
