Back to EpisodesRep. Escobar Demands Camp East Montana Shutdown
Description
U.S. Representative Veronica Escobar is calling for the closure of the massive Camp East Montana immigration detention center due to repeated abuses and safety failures. The center, operated by Acquisition Logistics, has seen three detainee deaths, including one from possible medical neglect and another ruled a homicide. Former detainees have reported dire conditions, and there have been nearly ninety emergency calls in the first fifteen weeks. Texas state Democrats have joined the call for investigations into rights abuses, including two confirmed tuberculosis cases. Despite a decrease in detainee numbers, Homeland Security says daily operations continue as usual.
