FINALLY: WA state health and safety inspectors can no longer be blocked from carrying out inspections at the Tacoma private immigration jail run by corporation GEO group. Hopefully this is the first step towards full accountability & forcing GEO to follow stricter standards #WALeg passed in 2023!

Workplace inspectors will have access to immigration detention center • Washington State Standard

Washington state staff will be able to enter and inspect conditions at the controversial Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

Give you one guess why GEO/private prisons and Teamsters want Trump to win. 2+2...

Noting that the usual name for 'private jail' is gulag.

Agree that this is an important step, though it's focused on workplace violations inside the facility. GEO is still fighting against WA DOH inspections re health and safety of people detained there. We need to win there as well. #WAleg
