GEO Group has spent more than a decade fighting a lawsuit from roughly 60,000 immigration detainees at its Aurora, Colorado facility. They allege they were forced to perform janitorial work for one dollar a day — or nothing — under threat of solitary confinement. On February 25, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against GEO's immunity claim; Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the company "must wait" for trial.
