After ICE admits to violations at Camp East Montana, a Democrat wants answers
New Mexico Congressman Gabe Vasquez is demanding answers and accountability over reports of widespread civil rights violations at one of the Trump administrations immigrant detention facilities.
Vasquez on Monday visited Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, following an internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement report that listed more than four dozen examples in which the agency violated national standards for detainees.
The conditions that I saw inside the detention facility today are beneath our American values, Vasquez said. We heard concerns regarding withholding of medical care. They said you practically have to be down on the ground, dying, choking before you receive medical care.
The largest facility being operated by ICE, Camp East Montana is a conglomerate of massive tents where immigrants targeted in Donald Trumps racist crackdown are being housed. Last month, ICE replaced the lead contractor operating Camp East Montana after concerns about civil rights violations swirled around the facility for months.
