· KRGV (NBC 5)
A coalition of civil rights organizations has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over alleged inhumane conditions at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas. The facility, which is the largest immigration detention center in the U.S., has faced criticism for multiple detainee deaths, a measles outbreak, and numerous violations of detention standards. The lawsuit claims that conditions amount to unconstitutional punishment and violate detainees' rights. ICE has denied these allegations, asserting that it prioritizes the safety and well-being of those in custody. The lawsuit seeks class action status to represent all current and future detainees.
