The lawsuit was filed on May 30, 2026, by the ACLU of Texas and partner civil rights organizations.
Camp East Montana is located on Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army base in El Paso, Texas.
The facility is identified in the lawsuit as the largest immigration detention center in the United States.
The camp uses tent structures for housing detainees.
Plaintiffs allege conditions include inadequate medical care and treatment that violates detainees' rights.
The suit targets ICE and seeks remedies related to detention conditions, not release of detainees.
ICE had not publicly responded to the lawsuit as of available reporting.
