EPA drops case against prison company that has donated heavily to Trump

Geo Group faced up to $4m in fines for violations involving the use of a toxic disinfectant at an immigration facility

The Donald Trump administration has dropped up to $4m in potential fines against the private prison operator Geo Group over the latter’s use of a toxic disinfectant in a detention center that allegedly put employees’ and detainees’ health at risk.

The administration made the move after Geo donated over $4m to the president and Republican leadership, as well as Trump’s inauguration fund.
