Compensation from GEO Group

Thomas D. Homan — Border Czar, DHS ($1.2M total assets)

• Received compensation from GEO Care (a GEO Group subsidiary)
• Also compensated by: DCI Group, Fox News Corps, Heritage Foundation, Homeland Strategic Consulting LLC, America First Policy Institute
• WHY THIS MATTERS: Homan directs ICE enforcement operations as “Border Czar.” ICE operations generate the detainees that fill GEO Group facilities. GEO reported $254M profit in 2025 (700% increase) and $520M in new/expanded contracts since Homan returned to government. The Raskin/Warren letter names Homan as having “reportedly helped contractors secure contracts for personal profit.”
• Homan was also the subject of a separate FBI corruption investigation (bribery allegations, $50,000 sting) that DOJ closed without prosecution.

Lucas Croslow — General Counsel, FTC ($130K)

• Received compensation from The GEO Group, Inc.
• The FTC’s top lawyer was previously paid by the largest private prison company.

GEO Group Stock Holdings/Transactions

Christopher D. Danley — Senior Advisor to the Solicitor, Interior ($1.2M)

• Active stock transactions in Geo Group Inc. (GEO) — multiple buys and sells disclosed
• An executive branch official actively trading detention company stock during the largest detention expansion in US history

Peter Lamelas — Ambassador to Argentina ($54M)

• Holds GEO GROUP INC/THE (GEO) stock

Stacey Feinberg — Ambassador to Luxembourg ($73M)

Connected Officials (GEO Revolving Door, Not in ProPublica Search)

• Pam Bondi — Former GEO Group lobbyist, served as AG until fired April 2, 2026
• Corey Lewandowski — Allegedly solicited “success fees” from GEO Group founder George Zoley (per NBC News)
