Immigrant and Latino advocacy organizations are seeking an order to force U.S. Army officials to expeditiously hand over information about health and safety issues at the Fort Bliss complex in Texas and New Mexico, which Trump officials are eyeing as a potential immigrant detention center.
In a filing Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, attorneys for the Hispanic Federation, GreenLatinos, and other groups are asking a federal judge to step in and force Army officials to comply with a Freedom of Information Act requesting detailed information about environmental hazards at the base and plans for the detention camps’ construction.
