The Department of Homeland Security<\/a> (DHS) has released additional evidence it says confirms that a staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, lied about being an attorney for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in an effort to meet with them and sneak in smuggled cell phones.<\/p>\n

In March, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman’s staff, who he said lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana<\/a> facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso.<\/p>\n

Lyons requested that Escobar answer several questions about Torres’ alleged actions.<\/p>\n

“Rep. Escobar refused to respond honestly. Instead, she took to X to defend Torres and gaslight the public,” DHS said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Initially, DHS released an image of a sign-in log showing Torres allegedly claiming to be a “lawyer” visiting a “client.” ICE records show that he first misrepresented himself as a legal professional in September 2025, Lyons said.<\/p>\n

A Feb. 18 memo states that on a Jan. 23 visit to the facility, Torres falsely claimed to be an attorney while requesting to see 22 detainees. It was determined that he was not a legal professional, the memo said.<\/p>\n

The most recent incident allegedly happened on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n

“Torres lied about being an attorney in order to gain access to an ICE detention<\/a> facility,” a DHS statement said. “He misrepresented himself repeatedly over the course of several months, talking directly to detainees even though he was NOT their legal counsel. He even passed a phone around<\/a> multiple detainees during a January 2026 visit, a dangerous violation of security protocols.”<\/p>\n

“Actions like Mr. Torres\u2019 are meant to undermine ICE\u2019s statutory mission to enforce immigration laws and remove illegal aliens from the interior,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to DHS and Escobar’s office.<\/p>\n

At the time of the initial allegations by DHS, Escobar described Torres as “a dedicated public servant” and “Army veteran,” saying the accusations against him were “unfounded.”<\/p>\n

She also criticized the facility and accused the Trump administration <\/a>of retaliatory tactics.<\/p>\n

“It is worth noting that ICE has refused to respond to multiple letters I\u2019ve sent about Camp East Montana regarding deaths, including a homicide; outbreaks of diseases including COVID-19, measles, and tuberculosis; waste, fraud, and abuse; a lack of legal representation or medical care; and so much more,” she said. “This administration has a history of engaging in intimidation tactics against Members of Congress as well as continuously attempting to obstruct our ability to provide oversight.”<\/p>\n

“I stand proudly by the members of my team who have demonstrated nothing but dedication and integrity to serving our nation and our community,” Escobar added.<\/p>\n

The congresswoman has previously demanded the Camp East Montana facility be shut down, describing it as “disastrous and inhumane.”<\/p>\n

“The United States already has the largest immigration detention network in the world, and these added facilities serve only as tools for the administration\u2019s inhumanity,” she wrote in a March post on X.<\/p>\n

Torres has been banned from ICE facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
