A recent Amnesty International report reveals serious human rights violations at the El Paso Service Processing Center in Texas, where detainees face deplorable conditions. Testimonies from migrants describe lack of sleep, inadequate medical treatment, and inadequate nutrition, with some suffering from violations of basic sanitary standards. These conditions result from the Trump administration's policies leading to overcrowding, with facilities operating 18% over their capacity. Venezuelan migrants face increased abuse and are treated as 'alien enemies' based solely on nationality and tattoos, raising serious concerns about the treatment of detainees in U.S. immigration facilities.
There is blood coming from my throat. Everyone has stomach issues because of the food and lack of nutrition. We have no access to clean water.
The facility's conditions are deplorable and violate both U.S. and international detention standards. Interviewees reported physical and verbal abuse by security guards.
The Trump administration's anti-immigrant crackdown has caused a severe overcrowding crisis in these facilities, pushing them 18% over capacity and worsening the conditions inside.
These Venezuelans are disproportionately physically abused by guards, put into solitary confinement, and designated as alien enemies based simply upon their nationality and tattoos.
