Migrants being held at a $1.26 billion detention center at the Fort Bliss Army base in Texas were reportedly subject to numerous violations of federal standards, including medical neglect, poor access to legal counsel, and dysfunctional plumbing, according to detainees and federal inspectors.
The soft-sided, tent-like detention complex, which became operational last month, had at least 60 violations of federal detention standards, according to a non-public report from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detention oversight unit, obtained by The Washington Post.
