Company behind Florida migrant children camp drops IPO plans

MIAMI -- The corporation behind a Florida detention camp for migrant children abandoned its plans to go public Tuesday as controversy grows around policies that lock up children crossing the Mexico border.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which takes custody of children who cross the U.S.-Mexico border, announced in December that the facility was expanding from 1,350 to 2,350 beds. Officials said the Homestead detention center in a Miami suburb is one of the largest and the only one run by a for-profit company.

The Obama administration opened Homestead as a temporary shelter for up to 800 migrant teens for 10 months in 2016. The private equity company formed Caliburn in August by grouping Comprehensive Health Services and three other companies. "It doesn't seem like the equity markets are all that bad or that we had a downturn just yet," Ibrahim said."My guess is big investors either don't want to be associated with this company or they are afraid the business model is not going to work out because of the negative press."
