The Geo Grooup, Inc., a private prison and detention business, has been hired by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold Central American immigrant families seeking asylum. The work involves electronic monitoring, explaining immigrants’ legal rights and the asylum process, and helping enroll their kids in school. This role traditionally has been filled by groups like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. This case can serve as a study for two-kingdoms analysis on the roles of governing authorities (Rom. 13) and the social ministries of the church.
