The GEO Group (NYSE: GEO) has responded to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding the Nwauzor case. The company maintains that participants in the federally mandated Voluntary Work Program (VWP) at the Tacoma ICE Facility are not GEO employees.

GEO contends that the State of Washington has unconstitutionally violated the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. The company has expressed strong disagreement with the court's decision and plans to pursue all available appeals.
