Report links Geo Group donations to American Liberty Foundation PAC

A report released last month by Pogo Investigates stated that the American Liberty Foundation, a political action committee tied to Rep. Jim Jordan, received $250,000 from Geo Group in 2025. The payment occurred 11 days after passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which increased federal immigration enforcement funding to $170 billion.

Geo Group operates 52 ICE detention facilities across 16 states. The company reported net income of $254.3 million in 2025, up from $31.9 million the prior year, and secured new or expanded contracts valued at up to $520 million in annualized revenue.

Campaign finance complaint The Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Geo Group violated federal campaign finance laws by making an undisclosed contribution through its political action committee. Nick Schwellenbach, author of the Pogo report, noted that federal contractors are barred from such contributions.

Detention facility conditions Detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey began a hunger strike last month over living conditions and access to medical care. New Jersey filed suit this month seeking inspection rights at the facility. Family members of detainees at the North Lake Processing Center in Michigan reported verbal abuse by staff and restricted visitation.

Geo Group did not respond to repeated requests for comment on the donation or conditions. A two-year, $60 million ICE contract for skip-tracing services was awarded to Geo Group in late 2025. On June 10, President Trump signed a $70 billion immigration funding package that includes $38 billion for ICE operations.
