Act at the decision points.
The business runs on three inputs the public can reach: appropriations, contracts, and capital. Each one has a dated decision inside the next twelve months.
Hearings, and an audit.
Ask the House and Senate Homeland Security and Judiciary committees to hold public hearings, and the DHS Inspector General to audit every award to GEO Group and CoreCivic since January 20, 2025.
Signed. Your signature will be delivered with the next batch, and you will receive one confirmation email.
Keyed to the calendar.
Aurora, Colorado
Call your senators and the House Homeland Security Committee.
I am calling about the GEO Group's Aurora contract, which expires October 15. Colorado has sued GEO over a tuberculosis order it refused to share for two months, and about 50,000 people are in a forced-labor class action over that facility. I am asking for a non-renewal review and public hearings before any new task order is funded.
Tacoma, Washington
The Tacoma contract has been extended only to October 27. Washington's courts have upheld the state's right to inspect and to require minimum wage there, and GEO is asking the Supreme Court to overturn both. Two hundred twenty-nine sexual abuse reports over ten years, most never reviewed. I am asking that no bridge order be funded until state inspectors have access.
The California cliff
Adelanto, Mesa Verde, and the Otay Mesa management contract all come up for refunding on December 19, $269 million in the same week. A federal court had to order clean water and adequate meals at Adelanto in July. I am asking the DHS Inspector General to audit these awards before the money moves.

What we are asking Congress and the agencies to do.
- Public hearings in the House and Senate Homeland Security and Judiciary committees on private detention deaths and conditions.
- A DHS OIG audit of every award to the two companies since January 20, 2025, including the timing of awards against political payments.
- Enforce recusals, verify divestitures, and subpoena contractor-agency contact logs.
- Restore CRCL to staffing; unfreeze and adjudicate the 500+ complaints.
- Non-renewal review at October 15, October 27, and December 19.
- State inspector access at every facility, as Washington's and California's laws already require.
The pressure calendar
The record is public. The decisions are dated.
Aurora's contract expires October 15. Tacoma's bridge ends October 27. Three California operations come up for refunding on December 19. Tell the officials who fund them, and the shareholders who finance them, that you are watching.
