RAYMONDVILLE, Texas (AP) — As many as 2,800 federal prisoners will be moved to other institutions after inmates seized control of part of a prison in South Texas, causing damage that made the facility "uninhabitable," an official said Saturday.

Ed Ross, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, said the inmates who had taken control are "now compliant" but that negotiations were ongoing Saturday in an effort for staff to "regain complete control" of Willacy County Correctional Center.

"The situation is not resolved, though we're moving toward a peaceful resolution," FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said Saturday evening.

It wasn't immediately clear what progress had been made through the negotiations, but Sheriff Larry Spence said there were no hostages involved in the standoff and only minor injuries reported. Spence said the inmates "have pipes they can use as weapons."

Management & Training Corp., the private contractor that operates the center for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, said about 2,000 inmates became disruptive Friday because they're upset with medical services and refused to perform work duties.

MTC spokesman Issa Arnita said in a statement that prisons officials have begun moving the inmates and that the process would continue into next week.

Arnita said prison administrators met with inmates Friday to address their concerns but that the prisoners "breached" their housing units and reached the recreation yard. The Valley Morning Star reports fires were set inside three of the prison's 10 housing units.

Authorities say about 800 to 900 other inmates are not participating in the disturbance. The inmates being held at the facility, which is in far South Texas more than 200 miles south of San Antonio, are described as "low-level" offenders who are primarily immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

"Correctional officers used non-lethal force, tear gas, to attempt to control the unruly offenders," Arnita said in the statement.

No inmate breached two perimeter security fences, and there's no danger to the public, he said.

The large Kevlar tents that make up the facility were described in a 2014 report by the American Civil Liberties Union as not "only foul, cramped and depressing, but also overcrowded."

The report said that inmates reported that their medical concerns were often ignored by staff and that corners were often cut when it came to health care.

Is there anything this administration does that is of any benefit to this country, or is everything all about destroying every aspect of the country he hates, and his stupid constituency hates?

Make no mistake. The contrived piece of socialist shit in office right not only hates this country and like his pathetic constituency believes every aspect of the country is illegitimate and has been since its inception.

They believe the entire 230 year existence of this country is invalid, unrighteous, bigoted and was never real to begin with.

That is how they believe. No matter what lies they are caught doing, no matter how many hypocritical stances we call them on, it does not matter. The ends justify the means to all of these pieces of traitorous shit.

Absolute enemies within. This, is just another example of their fucked up policies.

The people were in prison for being in the US illegally...Do you want them running the streets waiting for deportation?
 
They should had rolled in with some Gatling guns. Bullets are cheaper than the gas it takes to transport them back to the border, and you don't have to worry about them turning around and coming back over illegally again.

Overreaction much? Even non-citizen illegals have human rights in America.
