"The first Trump campaign was defined by the border wall, and this one is really defined by mass deportations," says Shah. If the Biden administration wants to protect immigrants' rights before Trump takes office, she adds, it must begin reducing detention capacity by shutting down facilities now.
GEO Group CEO Brian Robert Evans and Chairperson George Zoley hailed what they called an 'unprecedented opportunity' due to the incoming Trump administration's expected approach to border security and interior enforcement, emphasizing the potential for increased services to ICE.
We expect the incoming Trump administration to take a much more aggressive approach regarding border security, as well as interior enforcement, and to request additional funding from Congress to achieve these goals. We stand ready to provide additional services and resources to help ICE meet its future needs.
There's a potential doubling of all of our services related to ICE's detention program, indicating significant growth opportunities for private prison companies as the Trump administration prepares to implement its immigration policies.
