Schriftgröße

Four detainees at the largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in the U.S. filed a federal lawsuit on Saturday alleging human rights abuses, 'horrific' conditions and 'severe medical neglect' at the facility. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, details 'inhumane' treatment inside Camp East Montana on the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas. [...] DHS has disputed those claims. [...] 'No human being should ever have to go through this,' Angye said in a statement released by the American Civil Liberties Union, [...] 'We could die here, and it feels like no one here would care,' Navdeep said in the ACLU statement. [...] A DHS spokesperson [...] rebutted the claims in the lawsuit saying they are 'categorically false.' [...] At least three people have died at the center, including Cuban national Gerald Lunas Campos, [...] The El Paso County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Campos' death a homicide and no one has been charged.
