Demand a full congressional investigation into Camp East Montana in El Paso — and use every tool available to shut it down. This $1.2 billion facility holds up to 5,000 people in desert tents, trucks in drinking water daily, and offers one iPad for detainees to contact their families. Three men have already died there: Geraldo Lunas Campos, Victor Manuel Diaz, and Francisco Gaspar Christobal.
The autopsy for Campos found "asphyxia due to neck and torso compression." ICE called it a suicide attempt. Those accounts do not align, and Congress needs to find out why. Emergency call records from August 2025 through January 2026 document 130 calls — 16 seizures, 24 cardiac events, 17 mental health crises — and a measles outbreak has since placed 180 people in quarantine. ICE's own Office of Detention Oversight found 49 deficiencies, including 22 involving use of force. The ACLU of Texas, Texas Civil Rights Project, and Human Rights Watch have already sued to close the facility, citing medical neglect and psychological torture.
This is happening in our state, funded by our tax dollars. Subpoena ICE's records on every death, every use-of-force incident, and every outbreak at Camp East Montana. Then shut it down.
