The environmental group Sierra Club says the drinking water at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene may be contaminated and possibly unsafe for children.
A 2015 report by investigative news site The Interceptidentified Dyess as a fire and crash training site for the Air Force. Chemicals from firefighting foams are feared to be in the water supply.
In a statement, the Sierra Club said the Trump administration was "literally threatening the lives of those who come to our country seeking a better life."
But a 2017 test of the Dyess water supply by the Department of Defense, refutes the Sierra Club’s claim. In a statement from last June, the DOD said the water at Dyess had been tested and proved "safe and free from health hazards."
