flag Supreme Court rules GEO Group can't avoid lawsuit over detainee forced labor at Colorado facility.

flag The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled on February 25, 2026, that GEO Group cannot avoid a lawsuit alleging that immigration detainees at a Colorado facility were forced to work for as little as $1 per day. flag The decision allows the 2014 case to proceed, rejecting GEO’s claim of immunity as a government contractor. flag The lawsuit accuses the company of requiring detainees to perform janitorial and maintenance work under coercive conditions, violating labor laws. flag The ruling is procedural and does not determine the case’s outcome, but it removes a key legal barrier, potentially affecting similar lawsuits against private prison operators. flag GEO Group, which manages about 77,000 detention beds across 98 facilities, has faced prior legal actions, including a $23 million settlement in another case.
