In immigration news, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune report guards at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement jail in El Paso, Texas, systematically sexually assaulted and harassed at least three prisoners. A 32-year-old Salvadoran woman who was recently released from the ICE facility brought the accusations to light and told her attorneys she feared for other prisoners still in custody. The assaults would allegedly take place in areas that were not recorded by surveillance cameras. Another woman who came forward, a 35-year-old mother from Mexico, faces deportation this week as attorneys demand a criminal investigation.
