Private prison contractor GEO Group filed a lawsuit against California officials over a state law allowing public health inspections at immigration detention facilities. The company claims the law is unconstitutional and interferes with federal immigration enforcement. The lawsuit names Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and a health officer as defendants. GEO’s stock rose after Donald Trump’s victory, signaling potential growth for the company. The lawsuit argues that California regulations don’t align with federal standards for detainee care. Supporters believe public health inspections are necessary due to poor conditions and health threats in detention facilities.
