Supreme Court blocks GEO Group's fast-track appeal in immigrant detention labor case
TL;DR
The Supreme Court unanimously declined to fast-track GEO Group's appeal in a 2014 suit alleging Colorado immigrant detainees were forced to work for about $1 a day; the ruling is procedural and not a final decision, with GEO arguing immunity as a government contractor as the case continues.
