00:00As we think through the implications of ICE's rapid detention,
00:05expansion, I want to bring the conversation back to Fort Bliss, where the largest ICE
00:10detention facility is currently being operated.
00:12Sophie, you've alluded to some of the questions.
00:15And the concerns about the conditions there over the weekend, another death was reported.
00:20At the facility, the third, in just seven weeks, what does this tell you?
00:25About the risks of ICE's rapid expansion and what we might.
00:30See, next.
00:32I think that we are saying.
00:35This administration with a goal of deporting a million people a year.
00:40And building out 100,000 beds, there's just so much urgency.
00:45In this, that I think there are questions around the safe.
00:50And how much attention is being paid to these things.
00:55Like the National Immigration Detention Standards that do exist.
01:00And there have been efforts to minimize oversight.
01:05Inside these facilities, I mean, we're talking about detaining.
01:10Human beings in tents or in warehouses.
01:15Human beings in tents or in warehouses at a large scale.
01:17I think what you find is that as.
01:20As these facilities become larger and larger and as you deal with issues.
01:25With crowding, safety becomes larger.
01:30As a serious challenge, right?
01:32And so as.
01:35As the administration pushes for larger and larger facilities.
01:38I think we're going to see.
01:40It just sort of follows that like.
01:45Safety incidents like sort of follow that, right?
01:47I think it's extremely challenging to.
01:50To open facilities that are this large.
01:52And to run them.
01:53To run them well and to run them.
01:55Safely.
01:55Safely.
