GEO Group’s PAC donated heavily to President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign and has seen a hefty return on its investment. The company reported $254 million in profits for fiscal year 2025—a 700% increase compared to the previous year—and boasted “record-setting new contract wins totaling up to $520 million.”
