ICE sued over inhumane conditions at Camp East Montana in West Texas
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A coalition of legal and 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, the largest immigration detention facility in the U.S. The lawsuit claims that detainees have faced medical neglect, abuse, and insufficient food, with at least three deaths reported since the camp's opening in August 2025. ICE has denied these allegations, asserting that detainees receive quality healthcare. The lawsuit seeks class action status to represent all current and future detainees. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar has criticized the facility, calling it a 'purgatory for human beings.'
