Colorado vs Geo Group on TB Access | Denver News

Colorado’s Attorney General is taking legal action against Geo Group, the operator of the state’s sole immigrant detention center, after the company blocked a critical tuberculosis investigation. The state demands access to records and detainees to prevent an outbreak, but Geo insists on legal channels only — even turning away the governor’s outreach. This isn’t the first time Geo has clashed with regulators: it’s also fighting a new state law requiring more inspections, while this lawsuit relies on older public health mandates. Health officials discovered a TB-positive detainee in June, and Geo’s refusal to cooperate has left authorities scrambling. Similar lawsuits are brewing in Washington and New Jersey, as states push back against Geo’s obstruction of public health safeguards.
