Judge presses state and GEO Group over law meant to force health inspections at Aurora ICE facility

A federal judge heard arguments over Colorado's HB26-1276 law, which requires health inspections at the Aurora ICE Processing Center operated by The GEO Group. The law faces a legal challenge from GEO, which claims it is unconstitutional for targeting federal immigration detention facilities. The judge questioned the state's defense and the case remains unresolved as Adams County investigates a tuberculosis case at the facility.
