Guard at Private Immigration Prison Fired for Sexual Assault
------------------------------------------------------------



And a prison guard at a privately run Texas immigration jail has been
fired for allegedly sexually assaulting several women prisoners.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the guard groped several women
and forced at least one woman to have sex with him while transporting
them to their deportation flights. ICE says the company hired to run the
prison, Corrections Corporation of American, is on probation pending the
outcome of a probe into the allegations.
