Pastor Steven is a Ugandan asylum-seeker locked up by ICE for 18 months whose health is severely and rapidly worsening under ICE& #39;s cruel detention. Now, @ICEgov is trying to deport him.

This is his story. (Content warning) https://twitter.com/ValOnTheBorder/status/1279831437148028928">https://twitter.com/ValOnTheB...
Pastor Stephen is a human rights activist who was brutally tortured by Ugandan gov& #39;t forces. They amputated 2 of his fingers. A Ugandan official said he will likely be killed by security agents if returned. http://bit.ly/pastorsteven ">https://bit.ly/pastorste...
In 2018 Pastor Steven asked for asylum in the US. Since then, for over 18 months, he has been locked up by ICE.

Pastor Steven hasn’t been able to control his diabetes because ICE won’t give him food for a diabetic diet, changed his medication.
He’s now going blind, suffers numbness and tingling in his extremities, and has boils all over his body. Now, with a COVID-19 outbreak in his detention facility, he faces further life-threatening health risks.
NO ONE should be detained, ever. Pastor Stephen& #39;s story is just one of thousands of examples of why no type of detention should exist.

We must stop Pastor Steven’s deportation and get him out of detention, for his safety, his health, and his life. http://bit.ly/pastorsteven ">https://bit.ly/pastorste...
