Millions of immigrants to be surveilled under Trump, largest US immigration contractor says
Briefly

The Geo Group, the largest private contractor for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is ramping up its surveillance business, anticipating monitoring up to 450,000 immigrants. The company currently tracks about 186,000 individuals using advanced technologies such as ankle monitors and facial recognition. The push for expansion comes in response to the Trump administration's focus on mass deportations. Executives indicated ongoing discussions to enhance contracts with ICE, aiming to increase revenues significantly with potential monitoring of millions in the near future.
The Geo Group is set to expand its electronic monitoring capabilities for immigrants, potentially tracking millions more as demand surges from the current administration.
Executive chair George Zoley highlighted that returning to previous monitoring levels would add significant revenue, reflecting the growing reliance on private monitoring solutions.
