Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed a measles outbreak at a detention facility in Texas, prompting health officials to place more than a dozen detainees in quarantine.

The outbreak occurred at Camp East Montana, which is part of the Fort Bliss army base and serves as the nation's largest immigration detention facility. ICE officials said they are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities in response to the health emergency.

As a precautionary measure, the facility has been closed to visitors and attorneys while health officials work to contain the outbreak. The restriction limits access for legal representatives who typically meet with detainees housed at the facility.

According to reports, the Trump administration is considering plans to close the controversial facility, which opened less than eight months ago. The facility has faced criticism over living conditions and has experienced three detainee deaths since opening.

ICE has not provided details about the number of confirmed measles cases or the timeline for potential facility closure. The agency continues to work with health authorities to monitor the outbreak and prevent further spread of the highly contagious disease.
