Nearly 180 ICE detainees quarantined at Camp East Montana for possible measles exposure

Nearly 180 detainees at Camp East Montana, an ICE facility on Fort Bliss, are now under quarantine due to potential exposure to measles. The precaution was initiated after 16 detainees were identified as contacts of two confirmed cases from another detention facility. This move underscores the importance of monitoring infectious diseases within crowded detention centers, where the risk of outbreaks can be heightened. The situation highlights broader concerns about health and safety standards in immigration detention facilities.
