Detained immigrants at a Texas ICE facility reported frequent beatings, with one Cuban detainee describing severe injuries and his belief he would be killed. The abuse allegations come amid ongoing scrutiny of conditions in immigration detention centers.
Detained immigrants at a Texas ICE facility reported sustained beatings by guards, with one Cuban detainee describing severe injuries and his belief that he would be killed. These aren't isolated incidents but a pattern of abuse allegations coming from the same facility.
This sits within broader scrutiny of ICE detention conditions, but the specificity of these allegations—repeated beatings, severity of injury, detainee fear for his life—goes beyond poor conditions or negligence. It describes what looks like systematic abuse by staff. One detention facility generating multiple credible abuse allegations suggests either inadequate supervision of staff behavior or institutional tolerance for it. The fact that detainees feel their lives are in danger raises questions about whether anyone is monitoring what happens inside.
