ICE banned Rep. Escobar's staffer for lying about being an attorney and trying to smuggle phones into a detention center.
A senior staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, Benito Torres, has been banned by ICE after allegedly lying about being an attorney at least 11 times to access detainees at the Camp East Montana facility in El Paso.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said Torres misrepresented his legal credentials and reportedly tried to smuggle cell phones into the facility.
ICE revoked his access, but no criminal charges have been announced.
The incident has drawn attention to oversight and security at immigration detention centers, especially regarding congressional staff visits.
Details about the investigation, specific detainees, or Escobar’s response remain undisclosed.
