Supreme Court clears path for GEO detainee-work lawsuit to go to trial
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court unanimously allowed a 2014 class-action accusing GEO Group of forcing immigration detainees at its Aurora, Colorado facility to work for about $1 a day to proceed to trial, rejecting GEO’s immunity defense and saying questions about federal authorization must be resolved at trial; it is not a ruling on guilt, but it sets up a path to determine liability.
