This story was originally published by ProPublica. The Border Patrol agent, a veteran with 13 years on the job, had been assigned to the agency’s detention center in McAllen, Texas, for close to a month when the team of court-appointed lawyers and doctors showed up one day at the end of June.

Then, their outrage rolled through the facility like a thunderstorm.
