Frank Pallone: “So you suspect there could be a problem?”

This tragedy was entirely preventable, but this Administration’s cruelty ensures it will be repeated if immediate steps aren’t taken to strip GEO Group of its billion-dollar contract and shutter Delaney Hall.

If they cannot be operated in compliance with federal law and the Constitution, GEO Group, CoreCivic, and any other private contractors should not continue to profit from taxpayer dollars, and the detention centers must be closed.

The reports coming from Keyport continue to be concerning enough for my constituents to repeatedly and urgently share their concerns with me.

As members of the military sacrifice daily to protect our country, we have a responsibility to equip them with basic protection that safeguards their health during their service to our nation.
