All three alleged attacks described in the lawsuit happened in 2024, under the Biden administration. The detention center has long been the subject of complaints and criticism by immigrants held there, advocates, human rights groups and local government officials.

In the past year, as the facility’s population surged under the Trump administration’s immigrant crackdown, conditions have reportedly gotten even worse. Staff have delivered food undercooked and in the middle of the night and people have been denied regular medical care and outdoor access, according to interviews with The Times.

Dozens of people held at the Tacoma facility have also complained of assaults and sexual abuse. The University of Washington Center for Human Rights last year found 157 such reports to the Tacoma Police Department between 2015 and 2025. Detained people were the reported victims in 90% of those cases.

Tacoma police routinely ignored reports or conducted cursory investigations, deferring to GEO and ICE, according to the UW human rights center. The same thing happened in two of the cases described in the lawsuit, according to the complaint.

News article from Seattle Times:

One man held at the federal government’s immigrant detention center in Tacoma was allegedly groped by a guard. Another was allegedly slammed to the floor by officers, then made to strip in front of a female staffer, who recorded a video. Guards allegedly beat a third detained man so badly he had to be moved by stretcher.

A lawsuit filed Wednesday in Pierce County Superior Court describes these alleged incidents and contends they are part of a pattern of misconduct by officers of the GEO Group. The private, Florida-based company runs the Northwest ICE Processing Center, which holds roughly 1,600 people and is one of the largest detention centers in the country.

Filed on behalf of three men, the lawsuit seeks to hold GEO and two officers liable for monetary damages and accountable for alleged negligence and emotional distress. The 31-page complaint makes sweeping allegations, including falsifying reports to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “sham” internal investigations, denying medical care and hiring openly racist guards.

One officer named in the suit carried a mug with a Proud Boys sticker. The far-right group affiliates itself with “Western chauvinism” and its conduct has been described by a judge as “hateful and overtly racist.”

The Seattle Times is not naming the officers because they have not been charged with a crime.

I love Millie! She's a blonde version of my boy Bean. 😍 Happy Birthday Millie, from Bean and Lily!

Hooray for Macy and her new family! My little Bean was from a hoarding rescue. So traumatizing for them. Taken by strangers (Animal Control), he lost all his siblings, his human, his home, had unexpected surgery (neuter). I'm so lucky to find him though; he's the best dog in the world! 😻🐩
