- U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico blocked Colorado HB 1276 inspection-fine rules for GEO Group’s Aurora ICE detention center.
- He said the provisions violate the Constitution by singling out the Aurora facility as a contractor.
- The blocked rules required unannounced inspections every three months and $50,000 penalties.
- The preliminary injunction lasts until Oct. 15, 2026, when GEO’s ICE contract ends.
- Attorney General Phil Weiser called the ruling a narrow injunction that leaves public-health authority intact.
