Current report

During Third Quarter 2025, we incurred a non-cash contingent litigation reserve of $37.6 million in connection with a legal case in the State of Washington. The plaintiffs claim that State of Washington minimum wage laws should be enforced with respect to detainees who volunteer to participate in a VWP administered by GEO at the Northwest ICE Processing Center (the "Center") as required by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the terms of GEO’s contract.

As such, we strongly dispute this claim and will be filing a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in due course. We are also in active discussions with both the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security on securing their amicus support for our Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court.
