Prison company retaliated against detained immigrants, labor board says Private prison company GEO Group has been accused by the National Labor Relations Board of retaliating against immigrant detainees who protested working conditions inside a California facility.

GEO group is the corporation that has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts by ICE. The rhetoric does not match the statistics about immigrants. But the money trail does paint a clear picture, caging Latino families for profit.
