CoreCivic Profits from Immigration Detention | Baton Rouge News

CoreCivic’s profits soared 27% as ICE contracts fueled a 50% spike in revenue, driven by higher detention rates and expanded operations—while selling four facilities for $2.2 billion, they still run them under new ICE contracts. Federal funding boosts for immigration enforcement now make up half their earnings, sparking outrage from human rights groups who see profit in marginalized suffering. CoreCivic’s CEO defends their “humane and efficient” model, insisting it offers top value to the government. Meanwhile, Tennessee’s other businesses are cashing in too, with federal immigration contracts hitting $1.7 billion—a leap from $255 million in 2024.
