The Trump administration’s rapid expansion of ICE arrest quotas and detention facilities over the last 18 months has triggered a gold rush for companies willing and eager to profit from human immiseration. Here in Colorado, the most prominent of those profiteers has been the GEO Group, the private prison company which operates the ICE detention center in Aurora. Last week, we reported that the federal government has awarded GEO a new $529 million contract to open a new detention center in Hudson, Colorado – part of a pattern of federal contracts which contributed to a 700% year-over-year increase in GEO Group profits.
