After months of protests, Citizens Bank stops extending credit to ICE contractors

Citizens Bank has decided to cease lending to GEO Group and CoreCivic, two private prison companies that contract with ICE to manage detention facilities, following sustained protests highlighting human rights concerns. The decision comes after months of activism, including a notable flyover during a Phillies game. This move could have broader implications for financial institutions reconsidering support for companies linked to controversial government practices, potentially reshaping the ethical landscape of banking and corporate responsibility.
