Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Tacoma
The Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma has generated multiple significant cases. Nwauzor v. GEO Group resulted in a $17.3M forced labor verdict. Washington state passed a law banning private detention facilities (HB 1090), though enforcement is currently enjoined. Claims against GEO Group may be brought under Washington state tort law (3-year SOL), federal civil rights statutes, and FTCA. The facility's history of documented abuse strengthens pattern-and-practice arguments.
