US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing mounting scrutiny after human rights activists and civil liberties organisations alleged that migrants detained at Fort Bliss, Texas, were subjected to severe mistreatment, including physical abuse, sexual violence and the denial of basic human needs.
According to a 19-page investigative report supported by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Human Rights Watch, detainees at the El Paso military base, which historically served as a Japanese internment camp during World War II, are facing what advocates describe as a 'humanitarian catastrophe.'
