🚨 El Paso Resists ‘Lone Star Lockup,’ the Largest Immigration Detention Center in the U.S.

El Paso, Texas, is at the center of growing controversy as the newly opened “Lone Star Lockup”—now the largest immigration detention center in the United States—faces widespread backlash.

Protests have erupted outside the facility, with activists and community leaders voicing serious concerns about overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and human rights violations. Critics argue that the rapid expansion of detention centers reflects a broken immigration system that prioritizes incarceration over humane solutions.

While federal officials defend the facility as necessary for handling record migration numbers, opponents warn that conditions inside could worsen already dire humanitarian challenges.

The situation has sparked a national debate, drawing attention from advocacy groups, lawmakers, and international observers who are calling for urgent reforms in U.S. immigration policy.
