NEW: ICE deported a crucial witness in an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual assault and harassment at an El Paso immigrant detention center, according to the witness' lawyers.

DOJ has available procedures to prevent deportation of a witness in a case & keep them in the country until the case is concluded. There should be a full investigation into why those procedures weren't used here. https://t.co/GPQb4t7Yap
