A new report alleges that mismanagement at a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas produced unsafe conditions that contributed to detainees’ deaths and suffering even as millions of tax dollars were wasted on contractors. The U.S. Government Accountability Office report released Tuesday documents serious problems at Camp East Montana, a tent facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso where three detainees have died in little more than six months. The report found that key evidence in one of those deaths was “missing or destroyed.” It also found that ICE rushed to open the camp before construction was complete and failed to conduct required oversight to ensure detainees were held in sanitary conditions and receiving adequate medical care.
