Controversy Surrounds GEO Group Founder’s Immigrant Journey Amid Detention Center Allegations

George Zoley, the founder of GEO Group, a private company managing federal immigration detention centers, has come under fire for alleged inhumane treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Despite his own immigrant background, arriving in the U.S. via Ellis Island in 1953, critics argue that the conditions at his facilities contradict his claims of valuing human dignity.
