“Revolving Door”: Former GEO Group VP David Venturella Is New Interim ICE Chief

President Donald Trump has tapped David Venturella, a former ICE official and executive at the private prison company GEO Group, to replace Todd Lyons as head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. GEO Group saw its profits jump from $32 million in 2024 to more than $254 million in 2025 as the Trump administration expanded government contracts with ICE jails nationwide. Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at Detention Watch Network, says private prison companies have an “intricate” relationship with ICE. “It’s really a revolving door,” she says, pointing out that Venturella worked for ICE under Presidents Bush and Obama, then went to GEO Group before this latest appointment by President Trump. “It’s really hard to see where the interests of ICE end and those of private prison companies begin,” says Ghandehari.

“This is a very clear example of how the current administration is just wanting to expand immigration detention, whatever it takes and make these businesses prosper under the pain and suffering of communities.” - Amanda Diaz, organizing director with Freedom For Immigrants, member of the DNDC

Steyer Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Past Investments as Governor’s Race Heats Up

Gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer faces renewed criticism over past investments in private prisons as opponents question his record

Over staying your visa is not a felony, it’s a misdemeanor. It’s like locking people up indefinitely for fishing without a license.

In the US, some private prison operators have special understandings with local law enforcement. As far as I can tell, the result is a private company managed to interfere with the Rule of Law in the United States, leaving many at the Otay Mesa immigration centre vulnerable to complete lawlessness.

What Canadians may be seeing in the US? Literally holes forming in our neighbour where law has stopped functioning.

In some jurisdictions, the police would act as basically an office holder when they decide when a piece of legislation was violated, and to lay charges against an individual. Police are agents or employees of the state when they are not exercising this special authority to charge people with offences. When the charge is laid, the prosecutors take over the file. But now you’re saying that the police no longer want to use that special function - the reason why they exist - and they hand it to a private company with their own interests beyond the Justice System?

This isn’t the Justice System any longer, this is collapse.

Why a private company is investigating rapes at an ICE detention center instead of the sheriff

The warden at a privately run immigrant detention center in San Diego County has authority to decide how to investigate rape reports there. A San Diego County supervisor wants to revisit the agreement giving that power to CoreCivic.
