ICE has awarded over $400M in new contracts for immigrant detention warehouses to defense and security contractors, notably bypassing longtime partners CoreCivic and Geo Group. This shift raises questions about the future growth prospects of publicly traded private detention facility operators, despite their previous boasts of increased opportunities following the Trump administration’s focus on mass deportation. The new contracts require the companies to build out comprehensive facilities, and the incumbent detention companies have expressed concerns about the new entrants’ ability to deliver.
