## Resource

A federal judge has ordered private immigrant detention center operators in Tacoma to allow state inspectors full access — a major victory for transparency after years of resistance by The GEO Group. The ruling confirms that state laws govern detainee welfare and that private facilities aren’t above the law. While inspectors can now investigate living conditions, they’re barred from accessing ICE-managed areas. The GEO Group has 30 days to appeal — possibly heading to the Supreme Court — but this decision marks a crucial step toward holding detention centers accountable and protecting the rights of those held within them.
