A company that provides services for immigrants in federal detention has been ordered to pay more than $811 million in restitution and penalties in a lawsuit alleging it used deceptive and abusive tactics.

FILE - Children lie inside a pod at the main detention center for unaccompanied children in the Rio Grande Valley run by U.S. Customs and Border Protection , in Donna, Texas, March 30, 2021. A company that provides services for immigrants in federal detention was ordered Tuesday, April 2, 2024, to pay more than $811 million in restitution and penalties in a lawsuit alleging it used deceptive and abusive tactics.

The officials said the company promised to secure immigrants’ release on bond while their immigration claims were being processed but concealed and misrepresented the true nature and costs of its services. They said the company collected thousands of dollars in fees above the face value of the bonds and forced immigrants to wear painful ankle monitors.

The company said in a statement that it intends to appeal the judgement, calling it a “shocking departure from normal American jurisprudence" as it was decided “without evidence, without a trial and without a damages hearing.”
