Who profits from immigrant family detention centers? The Geo Group raked in massive federal contracts to run these centers in 2017, while paying their CEO $9.6 million — 271 times the firm’s median worker pay https://ips-dc.org/executive-excess-2018/ 

The U.S. president’s salary is just 5x more than the pay of the average federal govt employee, but the vast majority of top federal contracts paid their CEO over 100x their median worker pay in 2017.
