The receipt
ICE ordered detention and transportation services at Adelanto from the GEO Group for a year. The order started with about $20.1 million committed. Three later actions added money without changing the stated scope, bringing committed money to about $107.7 million. About $47.4 million of that had actually left the Treasury at the cutoff.
Contract scope as written on the federal record: “Detention and transportation services at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center for the Los Angeles area of responsibility.”

Evidence boundary
What the evidence establishes
- ICE committed about $107.7 million to this order across four dated actions between January 27 and July 24, 2026.
- Every action after the first is recorded as a funding-only action: money was added without a recorded change of scope.
- About $47.4 million had been outlayed at the cutoff — roughly 44 cents of every committed dollar.
- The order names the Adelanto ICE Processing Center as the place the services are performed.
What it does not establish
- It does not establish how many people were held at Adelanto on any date, or at what per-day price.
- It does not establish that the added funding reflects a larger population; a funding-only action records money, not occupancy.
- It does not establish conditions, medical care, or any outcome for a person in custody.
- The potential period runs to December 19, 2029, but the record does not establish that any option year will be exercised.
