A new lawsuit alleges that one of the country's largest private prison operators knowingly exposed ICE detainees to toxic chemicals used to clean its facilities, causing inmates to develop chronic health issues.
GEO Group's spokesman said allegations such as the ones presented by SJLF are part of"a long-standing, politically motived, and radical campaign to attack ICE's contractors, abolish ICE, and end federal immigration detention by proxy."
The"chemical spraying was a near-constant and invasive presence at Adelanto. GEO staff sprayed HDQ Neutral every 15 to 30 minutes from vats strapped to their backs and from smaller spray bottles. GEO staff sprayed this chemical into the air and onto all surfaces, including food contact surfaces, telephones, rails, door handles, bathrooms, showers, and sinks," the lawsuit continues.
