Washington v. GEO Group (NWIPC Health Inspection)
Case Overview
Washington Governor Ferguson and Attorney General Brown sought a court order in 2026 to permit state health inspections at GEO Group's Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWIPC) in Tacoma. Same facility as Nwauzor detainee-labor judgment.
The Application
Washington's Governor and AG seek a court order authorizing health inspections at the NWIPC in Tacoma, a privately-contracted federal detention facility. GEO Group likely argues federal contractual immunity and preemption of state authority, while the state contends its health and safety regulations serve legitimate local interests without conflicting with federal immigration enforcement.
The Conclusion
The case is active. The court must balance Washington's public health authority against federal immigration detention authority to determine whether state inspections may proceed.
