Has #ICE renewed #TacomaWA #DetentionCenter contract? It won’t say
By Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks, Sep. 25, 2025
Excerpt: "The 10-year contract for the private company operating the #NorthwestICEProcessingCenter in Tacoma is set to end this month, but secrecy shrouds whether it’s been extended.
"#Immigration advocates and legal experts have heavily criticized the lack of transparency over the expected renewal of the contract between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and #GEOGroup, which owns and manages the 1,575-bed, jail-like facility.
"Neither GEO Group nor ICE officials have released information about a new contract for running the detention center. The current contract, inked in 2015 as a one-year contract with an option to renew each year for nine years, is set to expire Sept. 27. The contract awarded GEO Group a minimum of $700 million over 10 years.
" 'It not only puts a veil over people’s eyes, but also prevents people inside the detention center from knowing what the future of this detention center is going to be,' said Josefina Mora-Cheung, director of organizing at #LaResistencia a local #activist group advocating for the end of #MassDeportations and the closure of detention centers.
"GEO Group and ICE officials did not answer emailed questions about whether a new contract was signed or whether the existing contract has been extended. Officials did not respond to reporters’ requests to provide copies of the new contract, should it exist.
" 'We cannot confirm pre-decisional contract selections, but we can confirm that ICE is exploring all options to meet its current requirements,' said ICE spokesperson Chrissy Cuttita in an email Tuesday."
