GEO Group, a private company that operates four of California’s immigration detention facilities, disputed the report’s findings.

“GEO strongly disagrees with these baseless allegations, which are part of a long-standing, politically motivated, and radical campaign to abolish ICE and end federal immigration detention by attacking the federal government’s immigration facility contractors,” a GEO Group spokesperson said in a statement.

A spokesperson for GEO said that its support services include “around-the-clock access to medical care, in-person and virtual legal and family visitation, general and legal library access, dietician-approved meals and specialty diets, and recreational amenities.”

Detainees at locations where GEO provides healthcare services are provided with “robust access to teams of medical professionals,” the spokesperson said, and can access off-site medical specialists, imaging facilities, emergency medical services, and local community hospitals when needed.

“Healthcare staffing at GEO’s ICE processing center is more than double that of many states’ correctional facilities,” the spokesperson said.
