Two mid-item paragraphs run together are the above headline, the source being:

In a 19-page letter, addressed to senior government officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
agency and Fort Bliss military command, the coalition accuses officers
at the immigration detention facility on the base, called Camp East
Montana, of being “in violation of agency policies and standards, as
well as statutory and constitutional protections”.
The
advocates called for the immediate closure of the camp, where more than
2,700 detainees are being held in a complex of tents.
“In
light of these abuses, we urge the end to detention of immigrants at
Fort Bliss,” said the letter signed by eight organizations, including
the American Civil Liberties Union, Humans Rights Watch, Estrella del
Paso, the Texas Civil Rights Project and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy
Center.
The letter
was addressed to ICE acting director Todd Lyons and others, and copied
to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office of inspector general
and the Senate armed forces committee.
ICE officials in El Paso directed media inquiries to the DHS, which denied all the allegations.
“Any
claim that there are ‘inhumane’ conditions at ICE detention centers are
categorically false. No detainees are being beaten or abused,” said the
DHS assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, in a written statement.
In Minnesota, the key detention center, the Wipple Building, once defense lawyers were admitted to meet with clients, was found to be only a bit short of a cesspool.
Crowding detainees together is a health risk, where the wrongfully kidnapped ones are then turned back into the general Minnesota population or into other home states.
This while the quack Kennedy runs health policy. It is dumb as dirt to be that inconsiderate of things.
That Texas site is where the two TB cases were detected, and where the total number of detainees varies day to day, packing densities are unclear, and wrongful kidnapped citizens from all over the States could be exposed carriers released back into their communities.
