US largest migrant detention center faces abuse charges
Human rights organizations have filed a lawsuit against the largest migrant detention center in El Paso, Texas. They accuse the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of physical abuse, lack of proper healthcare, and report three deaths within nine months of its opening. Additionally, there have been 49 violations related to the use of force and medical care. Reports indicate that detainees have suffered physical violence, been held in windowless pens, and some have died due to assault and suffocation. The lawsuit aims to improve the conditions for the 2,700 detainees and comes amid criticism of the mistreatment at a facility that cost $1.2 billion.
