WTKR News 3 reports that immigrant detainees at Camp East Montana, an ICE detention facility on the Fort Bliss Army base in El Paso, Texas, have come forward with allegations of physical abuse by guards, including claims of being punched, stomped on, and slammed to the ground. Dozens of detainees provided sworn declarations collected by the American Civil Liberties Union detailing the alleged mistreatment. The accounts follow an earlier investigation by Scripps News that documented poor conditions and mistreatment at the site.

Robert Herriman, writing for Outbreak News Today, reports that El Paso health officials identified 17 measles cases in the region, with 13 occurring among detainees at the Camp East Montana ICE facility on Fort Bliss.
