- GEO Group Sues Colorado Over Immigration Detention Inspection Law
GEO Group, a company operating immigrant detention facilities in Colorado, sued the state to block enforcement of House Bill 1276, which mandates health and safety inspections of such facilities. The law, signed by Gov. Jared Polis, requires additional inspections and police training on immigration enforcement compliance. GEO argues the law violates federal preemption and contractual rights under the U.S. Constitution.
