GEO impeding TB investigation at Aurora ICE detention center, Colorado officials say

Colorado officials are up in arms about the GEO Group's refusal to allow state health officials the access they need under state law to investigate a tuberculosis case at the Aurora ICE detention center. This failure is hampering efforts to identify potentially exposed individuals, raising significant public health concerns. Given the highly contagious nature of tuberculosis, this obstruction could have serious implications for both the detainees and the broader community, highlighting the need for swift and transparent cooperation in public health emergencies.
