GEO Group faces shareholder probe after New Jersey files June 2 lawsuit
New Jersey's June 2 lawsuit against GEO Group triggered a shareholder investigation into the company's board for potential fiduciary duty breaches, the law firm leading the probe said July 7.
"GEO has violated state law by refusing to allow the New Jersey Department of Health to conduct a full inspection of Delaney Hall," the New Jersey Attorney General's office said in the complaint, which was made public June 2. The facility is an immigration detention center in Newark operated by GEO.
The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz is investigating whether GEO's board breached its duties to shareholders by failing to ensure compliance with state health and safety regulations at Delaney Hall. The firm is seeking investors who purchased GEO shares before December 2025.
The lawsuit and investigation expose GEO to potential litigation costs, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage as a publicly traded prison operator. Shareholders who held stock before December 2025 may have legal claims, the law firm said. The company's next catalyst will be the court's response to New Jersey's request for a court-ordered inspection of the facility.
