EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A large immigration detention camp in Texas has been closed to visitors and attorneys due to a measles outbreak, a lawmaker said Tuesday.

There are 14 active measles cases at the detention center on the Fort Bliss Army base and 112 people are being isolated, said U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, an El Paso Democrat whose district includes the facility, known as Camp East Montana. It will remain closed to visitors and attorneys until March 19 or March 20.

“While on one hand, it is a good thing that the measles outbreak is being taken seriously, on the other hand, I am alarmed that a preventable crisis has created conditions where detainees can only access their lawyers virtually,” Escobar said in a statement.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The camp opened last year after the Trump administration awarded a contract worth up to $1.3 billion to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a Virginia contractor that had previously not operated an ICE facility. Detainees have described a camp where an average of about 3,000 people per day live in loud and unsanitary quarters, diseases spread easily and sleep is a luxury.

The last day of temporary virtual learning for St. Paul Public Schools students is March 13 and students will return to in-person classes on or before March 16, according to district officials.

As of Tuesday, the majority of students who enrolled in the district’s temporary virtual learning option have since returned to in-person classes. The temporary option began in late January as an alternative for students who may have felt unsafe attending in-person classes during the federal immigration enforcement crackdown.

Around 7,900 of the district’s approximately 33,260 students signed up for temporary virtual learning at its peak. As of late February, that number had dropped to about 3,700 students. The virtual learning option as well as other support services for families has cost nearly $1 million.

Students can return to in-person classes on earlier dates, if requested. Returning students should bring their iPads and chargers with them to school. Families with any questions should contact their student’s school.

The district’s meal box delivery to students will end before March 16 and families signed up for it will be notified before their last delivery.

In announcing the end of temporary virtual learning, district officials reminded families about the district’s safety protocols. Those include keeping schools locked and having visitors identify themselves before being let into the building, new building and parking lot signage that immigration enforcement activity is not allowed without a judicial warrant and adults who are present at pickup and drop-off times to ensure student safety.

The district board also adopted an emergency policy in February reaffirming that federal immigration enforcement officers are prohibited from school property, interviews with students or staff or other enforcement activities on district property unless required by a valid judicial warrant or law.

A Minnesotan is among the service members who have been killed in the Iran war, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, was assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, lowa.

Amor was one of four Army Reserve soldiers killed Sunday when a drone hit a command center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. That was just a day after the U.S. and Israel launched its military campaign against Iran, which has launched retaliatory strikes.

The other Reserve soldiers killed were Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska and Spc. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, lowa.

In total, the U.S. military has confirmed six deaths of American service members.

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, in a statement, said Amor was assigned to “Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), United States Army Reserve, Des Moines, Iowa. Sergeant First Class Amor’s husband and children reside in White Bear Lake.”

“John and I join with people across our state and our country in mourning Sgt. First Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake,” Klobuchar said. “Our hearts are with her family, loved ones, and all those in our armed forces. Sgt. Amor made the ultimate sacrifice serving our nation, and we are forever indebted to her.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The wealthy Alexander brothers used the same tactics of luring, drugging and humiliation to sexually assault numerous women and girls, bragging about their exploits in blog posts with titles that included “It’s not rape if,” a federal prosecutor told jurors Tuesday.

In a closing argument after four weeks of testimony in the siblings’ federal sex trafficking trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Jones reviewed the often harrowing accounts of 11 women who allege they were sexually assaulted by Alon, Oren or Tal Alexander.

The allegations are corroborated by the “sheer number of victims who testified,” the prosecutor said — women who never have met each other and live different lives, but “have one horrific thing in common: they were raped by these men.”

Far from hiding their activity, the brothers bragged about it in text messages, emailed about sneaking drugs — or “party favors” — onto a cruise ship, recorded at least one assault on video and shared photos of victims, Jones said, calling it “devastating evidence” supporting the charges against them.

“You know this playbook because the defendants did this multiple times,” Jones said, chronicling alleged assaults at Hamptons mansions; New York City apartments; an Aspen, Colorado, ski trip; and a Caribbean cruise. One woman testified that Alon Alexander raped her in 2012, hours after they had met at actor Zac Efron’s Manhattan apartment. Efron was not accused of any wrongdoing.

Oren and Tal Alexander, high-end real estate brokers dubbed “The A Team,” and their brother Alon, an executive at their family’s private security firm, have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and other charges.

In a closing argument, a lawyer for Alon Alexander said prosecutors conflated the brothers’ “obnoxious” and admittedly inappropriate banter with grave criminal allegations. Alon “should be and is embarrassed” by the language he used — but “talk doesn’t constitute a crime,” defense lawyer Howard Srebnick argued.

The defense’s closing arguments will continue on Wednesday.

The brothers are accused of meeting victims at nightclubs, parties and on dating apps, and recruited others for trips to ritzy locales, paying for flights and lodging at high-end hotels or luxe vacation rentals before drugging and raping them. After witnessing an assault at a Hamptons mansion, one woman pulled out her eyeliner and wrote “RAPIST” on a bedroom door, Jones said.

“A lot of the evidence at this long trial was hard to see and hear,” Jones said. “A lot of it was brutal. That’s because the defendant’s crimes were brutal.”

Jones reminded jurors of a video, played during the trial, of Oren Alexander appearing to rape a drugged 17-year-old in 2009 at the Manhattan apartment he shared with his brothers. Oren recorded the video with his laptop computer — and could be seen adjusting the angle before the alleged assault, Jones said.

“You can see the playbook in action here,” Jones said. “When you saw him pick up her limp legs and climb on top of her lifeless body, you knew what you were seeing.”

On another occasion, Jones said, two of the brothers and two other men raped a 16-year-old boarding school student who had skipped her prom to join them in the Hamptons. A photo of the girl, sleeping topless, was found on one of the brothers’ laptop hard drives, he said.

Now in her 30s, she testified that the assault only ended when she kicked one of the men away. Afterward, she said, Tal Alexander told her: “Don’t be mad at me.”

Another woman, a United Nations intern invited to the Hamptons mansion that weekend, testified that she saw the brothers dragging someone to a hot tub and assaulting her. The victim pleaded with them to stop and they didn’t, Jones said, recounting the intern’s testimony.

“I work for the U.N. and I know what you’re doing to girls in there,” the intern screamed before scrawling the “RAPIST” message, Jones said.

The prosecutor urged jurors to reject defense claims that prosecutors were criminalizing “hookup culture” and that accusers were motivated by shame or by money.

“Now that you’ve seen these women for yourselves, you know how wrong that is,” Jones said, noting that one witness was the daughter of a billionaire. “There’s not been an ounce of shame in this courtroom.”

“What walked into this courtroom was not shame,” Jones added. “It was courage and resolve. It was the truth.”
