At least 14 cases of measles have been confirmed at the nation'slargest ICE detention facility,an agency spokesperson told NBC News in a statement.
People who tested positive for the highly contagious disease at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, have been "cohorted and separated from the rest of the detained population to prevent further spread," the spokesperson said.
The agency "is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities to ensure appropriate medical care and containment measures are in place — the health and safety of detainees, staff, and the community remain a top priority," the spokesperson added.
Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, whose El Paso district includes the detention center located on the Fort Bliss Army base, said the facility is closed to visitors and attorneys because of the outbreak.
In addition to the 14 people who got sick, 112 other individuals have been isolated in connection to the outbreak, according to Escobar.
"There has been nothing but crisis after crisis inside the walls of this tent city," the Democratic congresswoman said ina statement.
Since Camp East Montana opened last year, three detainees have died while in ICE custody. Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, of Nicaragua,"died of a presumed suicide" inside the facility on Jan. 14. Francisco Gaspar-Andres, 48, a detainee from Guatemala, died ofhealth complications from cirrhosis and cardiac hypertrophy.

Another Camp East Montana detainee, 55-year-old Geraldo Lunas Campos, of Cuba, died on Jan. 3 andhis death was ruled a homicide.
According to ICE, the agency provides comprehensive medical care for detainees, including dental and mental health services, as well as access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care.
On Wednesday, Escobar called for Camp East Montana to be shut down and for an investigation into the facility's contractor.
Camp East Montana holds an average of2,954 detaineesinside its soft-sided tent-style structure, which ICE increasingly favors over brick-and-mortar buildings. That's the largest number of ICE detainees so far in fiscal year 2026, according to theTransactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
Acquisition Logistics LLC, a Virginia contractor that had not operated an ICE facility before,was awarded a $1.2 billion contract last summerto build and operate Camp East Montana.
Since then,the small company run by Kenneth Wagner out of his single-family homein Virginiahas garnered national attention.Before the Camp East Montana contract, the company's largest contract, according to public records, appears to have been worth $16 million.
The company'swebsitecurrently has little information aside from an address and a header saying, "Site maintenance in progress." Wagner could not be reached at the phone number listed for his business on Wednesday.

Tiger Woods turns 50 today, Dec. 30, 2025. That's a milestone in and of itself for a man who has set many of those during his career as a professional golfer. 29 years of professional golf, 683 weeks as the world's No. 1 golfer, 82 PGA Tour wins, 15 major championships, and a partridge in a pear tree. Though Woods has somewhat stepped away from the PGA Tour in recent years, focusing on his businesses as well as Tomorrow's Golf League (TGL) as they prepare for their second season, Woods' career still leaves people in awe the more they learn. Woods' dominance on the links cannot be understated. So, as the man of the hour hits five decades, let's take a look back at the ten best moments of his career. Keep in mind, this is a subjective list. " style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
10. "Better than Most" 2001 Players Championship Ask any golfer and they can tell you the exact putt that the words "Better than Most" come from. The iconic putt was great in and of itself, but it was made legendary by analyst Gary Koch's commentary, repeating "Better than Most" over and over with increasing enthusiasm as it got closer and closer to the hole." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
9. 2000 U.S. Open Woods' dominance is well-documented, but it wasn't always. The 2000 U.S. Open was one of the first tournaments where fans started to realize just how much damage Woods could do. After leading by just one shot after the first round, Woods then kicked his game to another gear, leading by six after 36, ten after 54, and 15 when all was said and done. Woods was the only player in the entire tournament to finish under par. He finished at 12-under." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
8. Woods aces the 16th at 1997 Phoenix Open Often referred to as the "loudest hole in golf", the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is known for producing legendary moments. Of course, Woods had to add himself to that mix. Woods' ace in 1997 sent the crowd into an absolute frenzy, the kind of eruption that would make Shooter McGavin lose his mind." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
7. Just short? 2005 Masters This is arguably the shot that Woods is most known for. Any golf fan can close their eyes and see the ball stop at the lip of the cup, flashing that iconic Nike logo, and leaving the crowd disappointed just moments before it takes one final turn into the cup and sending everyone into hysterics. The fact it happened at Augusta just added to the legend." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
6. 2022 Masters Woods did not win this tournament, but Woods' career isn't all about the wins, it's also about the resilience, the ability to get back up when you get knocked down. Woods was involved in a pretty serious car crash just 14 months prior to this tournament. Somehow though, Woods still managed to make the cut at the Masters, extending his streak of consecutive Masters cuts made to 22, tying him with Fred Couples and Gary Player for the longest such streaks in history." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
5. "Hello, world" 1996 Fresh off winning the U.S. Amateur for the third time in his young career, the golfing world was waiting in anticipation wondering if Woods would remain an amateur. However, it was clear that there was something in the works. After all, Woods' dad, Earl, had secured a five-year, $40 million deal with Nike, which in all likelihood, wasn't a spur of the moment deal. Woods' iconic "I guess, hello world" marked the beginning of what would become the most iconic professional career in golf history." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
4. The "Tiger Slam" 2000-2001 Not many golfers can say they've won a career Grand Slam. Tiger Woods won all four tournaments in a year. Though some skeptics will say that it doesn't count since they didn't all happen in the same year, those people don't have friends, so who cares what they have to say. Woods won all four major tournaments in a row, making him the defending champ at each of the biggest events in golf. That's like being an undisputed heavyweight champion in boxing, but probably a thousand times less likely. It's very likely that we never see another golfer win all four majors in a row. That's how insane this feat truly was." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
3. 2006 Open Championship Though this wasn't the first or even the second time Woods would win the Open Championship, Woods' victory in 2006 was iconic because of what Woods was dealing with at the time. Woods lost his father, Earl, earlier that year. You can see the emotion on Woods' face after the winning putt as he shares an embrace with his caddie." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
2. 1997 Masters Woods was under a lot of pressure prior to this tournament. He was the young up-and-comer that would bring in a new era of golf. But he'd never won a major, he'd yet to make a major impact on the sport. Then the 1997 Masters happened. He won by 12 strokes, and set a then-record four-round score of 270 (-18). Even more iconic was Woods' resilience in the tournament. Through nine holes, Woods carded a 4-over and was struggling immensely. He then shot four birdies and an eagle on the back nine, finishing the first round at 2-under. That was just a taste of all that was to come." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> 
1. 2019 Masters By 2019, Woods was well past his prime. He wasn't the same dominant force that shook the Earth when he walked by. Woods hadn't won a major in over a decade. Fans had written him off, but Woods wasn't done. It was a flash from the past that had fans giddy with enjoyment. He didn't dominate like fans were accustomed to years prior, but he managed the win anyway. The best part was definitely him embracing his children behind the 18th green, the same place he hugged his parents after his win in 1997. It was really a full circle moment and an exclamation point on one of the greatest careers ever." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" />
