DHS Buys 2 More Detention Centers in California for $950 Million
GEO Group expects $705 million in proceeds and will keep running the facilities under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security purchased three immigrant detention facilities in Adelanto for $950 million from the GEO Group, including the 1,940-bed Adelanto ICE Processing Center and 704-bed Desert View Annex.
- Federal ownership allows the Trump administration to avoid oversight from California regulations while cementing detention capacity on the West Coast, reflecting efforts to sidestep state laws that increase facility oversight.
- CEO George Zoley stated the GEO Group anticipates $705 million in proceeds from the sale while continuing to manage daily operations through Dec. 19, 2034. Zoley emphasized the firm's "40-year public-private partnership with ICE."
- The facilities have faced lawsuits alleging poor medical care and sanitation; Zoley labeled the legal challenges "unwarranted litigation," and federal ownership may now serve as part of the company's defense strategy.
- Total federal spending on detention facility purchases has reached nearly $3.2 billion, funded by President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as officials reportedly contemplate buying more than 10 additional facilities.
