Sep 16, 2025 · El Paso, TX
ICE's new detention facility at Fort Bliss in Texas violated 60 federal standards within 50 days of operation. Immigrants arrived at the tent encampment while active construction was still underway, with excavators operating and dust covering the site. The facility was constructed hastily, with development beginning just two weeks before occupancy, and continued for months after people arrived.
