Overview
CoreCivic is a United States–based private prison and detention contractor that operates correctional, detention, and related government services facilities. Public reporting and company filings describe ICE as among CoreCivic’s government customers and describe CoreCivic’s role operating immigration detention facilities under ICE contracting and intergovernmental agreements.[1][2]
Boycott
CoreCivic is listed for boycott due to documented immigration detention contracting and operations that provide detention capacity and facility services for ICE (DHS).
In 2025, CoreCivic announced a new contract with ICE to utilize its 2,560-bed California City Immigration Processing Center, describing a prior “letter contract” used to resume operations while negotiating a longer-term agreement.[3] Public reporting likewise described ICE’s expansion of detention capacity at the California City facility through an agreement with CoreCivic, including use of no-bid contracting in the ramp-up period.[4]
CoreCivic also announced resumption of operations at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, describing an amended intergovernmental services agreement involving ICE and the City of Dilley that runs through at least March 2030.[5][6]
CoreCivic’s public filings describe the company as formed in 1983 and headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, and are used here as a primary-source reference for basic corporate details and operations context.[1]
Background
ICE relies heavily on contracted detention capacity, with many facilities operated by private companies and local governments under contracts and intergovernmental agreements. Because detention contracting materially expands enforcement capacity and directly supports detention operations, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose services provide detention infrastructure for ICE (DHS).[2][7]
