Similar enthusiasm abounded after Mr Trump’s first victory in 2016: Core Civic’s shares rose by as much as 60% in the hours after the election. And before the pandemic, ICE did detain more people. But amid public distaste, especially at the separation of immigrant children from their families, social activists applied pressure. The value of GEO and CoreCivic sank after a string of banks ceased doing business with the industry.
