A detention center southwest of San Antonio used to hold people arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has experienced a flurry of 9-1-1 calls originating from inside, Wired magazine reports. The emergency calls, sometimes made by staff and sometimes by detainees or their visiting family members, paint a picture of dire conditions inside, immigrant advocates argue. The subject matter of the calls ranged from suicide attempts and allegations of sexual abuse to health issues faced by pregnant inmates, according to Wired’s reporting.
