Civil rights groups allege people at the largest immigration detention centre in Texas are being beaten, abused and denied medical care at the camp.

Immigrant detainees accuse the federal government of 'inhumane' abuse and treatment at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas.

“The conditions here in this ICE tent camp in a desert are inhumane and cruel," said one Cameroonian plaintiff in the suit. "No human being should ever have to go through this."
