U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) faces scrutiny over reports of holding hundreds of immigrant children and pregnant women, including asylum seekers, in custody for extended periods exceeding legal limits.Advocates, including the ACLU, allege inadequate medical care, unsanitary living conditions, and document cases of abuse, such as pregnant women shackled during miscarriages.Separately, officers at
Fort Bliss immigration detention camp are accused of mistreating detainees through beatings, sexual abuse, and clandestine deportations, allegations which the
DHS assistant secretary denies.
