TPM – Talking Points Memo
A new report from Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) details shocking allegations about the conditions inside an ICE detention facility in Texas.
The DHS spokesperson stated “any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention facilities is FALSE.”
Along with the allegedly inadequate medical care, the report also claimed facility staff failed to provide detainees with proper meals.
Durbin has previously released reports on conditions at ICE detention facilities in Florida and Louisiana.
Immigration detention facility staff routinely deny or defer necessary medical treatment, providing only minimal care until emergency care is required.
