An earlier version of this story did not make clear that a number given for the 14-day total of coronavirus cases for El Paso County — 10,827 — was inflated because it included backlogged cases. The story has been updated to say that the 14-day total is nearly 10,000.

Due to incorrect information provided to The Texas Tribune and ProPublica by an FBI spokesperson in September, this story wrongly stated that the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General is the lead agency investigating allegations of sexual assault at an El Paso immigrant detention center run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A month after the story was published, the spokesperson, Jeanette Harper, wrote in an emailed statement that she had “inadvertently received and provided inaccurate information.” The DOJ Inspector General has consistently declined to comment. Harper said the lead agency was the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. Its inspector general and the FBI have interviewed women making the allegations, according to their lawyer, Linda Corchado. A spokesperson for the DHS Inspector General, which previously had not responded to inquiries, wrote Friday in email that per its policy the agency could not confirm or deny investigations.
