Dozens of detainees at the country's largest immigration detention center told investigators with civil rights groups that they're subjected to beatings, medical neglect, malnutrition, and inhumane conditions.
In a joint report released today, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) say that the abuses described in interviews with 71 people being held at Camp East Montana, a privately operated immigration detention center inside the Fort Bliss Army Base near El Paso, Texas, violate national and international human rights law.
