In short, there is a problem.

A lawsuit has been filed against the largest US immigration detention center due to alleged human rights abuses.

The lawsuit claims that guards beat detainees, medical care is poor, and solitary confinement is used unfairly.

This is the first lawsuit against the facility after three deaths in nine months.

The largest US immigration detention center is being sued over alleged human rights abuses.

Three people have died in the nine months since the Camp East Montana opened in Texas.

A group of civil rights organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, filed the lawsuit on behalf of four detainees.

The lawsuit names the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Department of Homeland Security as defendants.

The ACLU aims to improve conditions for the over 2,700 detainees at the facility.

Protesters demonstrated against mass deportations by ICE at Fort Bliss in August.

A DHS spokesperson said claims of inhumane conditions at the camp are false.

The lawsuit alleges that guards beat detainees.

An inspection of the camp found 49 violations of detention standards, including problems with the use of force and medical care.

An attorney for the ACLU said the lawsuit aims to prevent further inhumane treatment of detainees.

Advocates warn that the rapid expansion of immigration detention in the US has led to inhumane conditions and deaths.

Detainees are confined in poor conditions, suffer physical abuse, and have limited access to medical care.

A DHS spokesperson said no detainees were being beaten or denied medical care.

The spokesperson also said there were no cases of measles at the camp as of March 12.

The spokesperson stated that ICE takes the health and safety of detainees seriously.

A plaintiff in the lawsuit said he experienced physical violence when officials tried to coerce him to sign deportation papers.

Another plaintiff said he was beaten by guards.

The death of a Cuban immigrant at the camp was ruled a homicide due to asphyxia.

If you or someone you know needs help, there are resources available.

Immigration officials initially said a detainee died due to medical distress.

They later said he died in a struggle with guards who tried to save him.

The ACLU lawsuit alleged that the detainee was beaten to death after asking for asthma medication.

A fourth man died after being released from the camp, where he was denied cancer treatment.

US immigration detention deaths reached a 20-year high in 2025.

Reuters reported on the story.
