At US’s largest immigration center, Texas’s Camp East Montana, plaintiffs allege ‘dangerous and abusive’ situation
The first lawsuit relating to the largest immigration detention facility in the US was filed early on Saturday against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), accusing the agency of “dire” conditions that severely violate the human and constitutional rights of those locked up at the camp in Texas.
A clutch of legal organizations is suing via a class-action complaint, listing four detainees as plaintiffs for themselves and on behalf of all those currently held as civil detainees at Camp East Montana or who will be held there in the future.
The facility is a sprawling tent camp in the desert on El Paso’s Fort Bliss military base, where the federal government has confined immigrants since last August, when it swiftly erected the tents.
Everyone who lives in El Paso is guilty in this.
You cannot live an work in this community and not be held responsible as well.
You are no different than the towns that surrounded and served the Nazi concentration camps.
Shame
Shame
Shame
We had all these laws against this kind of cruel and unusual punishment, yet the people are going to be held financially responsible for the acts of a malicious minority currently running the Executive Branch? Why have any laws if the highest people in government don’t have to follow them? Why isn’t the minority held financially responsible for breaking laws? Why will the rest of us have to pick up the tab for their abuses and lawlessness?
They get around it by never formally charging people in court. They disappear into this nebulous void of ICE detention
