A recent inspection at the nation's largest immigration detention facility found dozens of violations of national standards that potentially exposed detainees to excessive force, disease, and other unsafe conditions. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Office of Detention Oversight conducted a congressionally mandated inspection at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas. The report cited 49 deficiencies, encompassing critical areas like the use of force, medical care, and security. Attorney Randall Kallinen, representing the family of a detainee who died at the facility, described the findings as 'scathing' and stated that detainees are at risk from inadequate medical care and potential violence from other detainees. Lawmaker Veronica Escobar highlighted that the reported issues are just the surface of deeper problems within the facility. Amid these concerns, ICE is facing scrutiny and has recently transferred operational control to a more experienced contractor.
