As of Sept. 15, ICE reported an annualized average of 7 detainees at Dallas County.

The number of people detained by ICE at Dallas County on that date was likely closer to 5.

GEO was sued under forced labor laws for operating ICE's "Voluntary Work Program," which pays $1 per day to people held in ICE detention who "voluntarily" cook, clean, and maintain a facility (which cuts GEO's costs). They wanted immunity because ICE authorized it. Here's how GEO's lawyer started.
MR. DRAYE: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court: The government can act only through agents, either employees or non-employee contractors, and the common law draws no distinction between public servants and private individuals engaged in public service. That makes sense. Contractors following the government's instructions are immune from suit for the same reason government employees are immune. That is, they are doing the sovereign's work.
