Washington State Sues GEO Group to Force Health Inspections at Tacoma Immigration Detention Center

Washington state filed federal court action Tuesday to compel The GEO Group to allow state health inspectors into its Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma. The detention center, holding up to 1,600 immigrants, has received 3,500 complaints from detainees including reports of foreign objects in food and foul-tasting water. State inspectors have been denied entry all 10 times since a 2023 state law authorized health and safety inspections at private detention facilities.
