#ICE’s #PrivatePrison Contractors Spent Millions Lobbying to Force Banks to Give Them Loans

Major banks have denied financing to #GEOGroup and #CoreCivic — but legislation pushed by the firms could force their hand.

"Now, the private prison firms are fighting back, spending millions on lobbying Congress to pass a law to require that the banks can’t deny their business."

Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old #ICE detained last week in #Minnesota, is being held in Dilley, #Texas in a center owned by #CoreCivic, a #PrivatePrison company that donated heavily to #Trump’s campaign. Liam is now reportedly sick because of the poor facility conditions.

#ICE Hires Immigrant #BountyHunters From #PrivatePrison Company #GEOGroup

#BIIncorporated, a subsidiary of for-profit prison company GEO Group, will help ICE pinpoint the locations of #immigrants.

by Sam Biddle, December 19 2025

Excerpt: "The deal illustrates a strategy of vertical integration within GEO Group, which has found a growing line of business operating for-profit immigration detention centers under the second #Trump administration. In this case, the corporation stands to be paid by the federal government to both find immigrants and then to imprison them.

"Shares of GEO Group, which donated to both Trump’s reelection campaign and his inaugural fund, spiked following his 2024 victory. Trump’s return to office has proven fortuitous for GEO Group: The president’s '#BigBeautifulBill' earmarked $45 billion for jailing immigrants. 'This is a unique moment in our company’s history,' GEO Group CEO J. David Donahue told investors in May, 'and we believe we are well-positioned to meet this unprecedented opportunity.'

"GEO Group has faced decades of criticism over alleged mismanagement of its facilities and claims of rampant abuse of inmates. In August, The Intercept reported the suicide of a Chinese immigrant held at a GEO Group-operated prison in Pennsylvania. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal complaint over the facility in July, criticizing 'horrific conditions' at the prison, including repeated instances of medical neglect.

"In 2023, GEO Group was hit by a class-action lawsuit alleging the 'months-long poisoning' from a chemical disinfectant of more than 1,300 inmates at a California immigration detention center. In May, Tufts University student #RümeysaÖztürk, jailed for her criticism of the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza, alleged her GEO Group-managed jail delayed treatment while she experienced an asthma attack."

“Godsend” or “#ConcentrationCamp”? A Lucrative #ICE Deal Divides a #Colorado Town.

Trump has unleashed a gold rush among #PrivatePrison companies taking on #ImmigrationDetention. In #CashStrapped cities, residents aren’t sure the money is worth it.

Isabela Dias, November+December 2025 Issue

Excerpt: "[T]he prospect of a privately run #ICE facility has divided #WalsenburgCO. Some locals and public officials have welcomed the potential influx of money and jobs. 'It’s a godsend,' Mayor Gary Vezzani told a TV reporter in early July. 'If they use it for ICE or use it for a prison or use it for whatever they use it for, we really don’t care…It’s a pretty big paying customer for us. We’re not big enough, nor [is] anybody here big enough to stop it. So, we may as well take advantage.'

"The mayor’s comments sparked fierce backlash. At a July 15 county commissioners meeting, one resident succinctly shot back: 'We don’t want to be known as a town with a concentration camp.' At a city council meeting the same day, a speaker argued that 'what’s happening in Walsenburg isn’t just #corrupt. It’s #fascist. It’s a blueprint for #authoritarianism wrapped in barbed wire and dressed up as local revival.' "
