Disgusting, but not surprising. Of course they were sterilizing immigrant women at ICE facilities. They're excruciatingly racist. Do you think they *want* more brown people in this country?

Reminder that medical abuse--and whistlerblowers calling it out--are no strangers to ICE facilities. When your country has a for-profit prison system, steeped in racism and the legacy of slavery, these are the results. https://twitter.com/RachelMcGonagi1/status/1132019001511501825?s=20
This story, from a year ago, a whistleblower tells about ICE prisons' over-use of solitary confinement to "protect" detainees who identified as LGBTQ.
Also, to "protect" those who were deemed "suicidal." https://twitter.com/RachelMcGonagi1/status/1131057704229695488?s=20

Can you even imagine?
Suicidal and detained away from all family and friends, and then kept in a solitary cell for MONTHS.
No Zoom.
No Netflix.
No walks outside, or cats or doggos to relieve your stress.
Just you and your suicidal thoughts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This is what ICE does when they want a story to go away:
1. They crush the whistleblower, if there was one;
2. They deport the complainant;
3. They don't show up at depositions;
4. If they do show up...they lie. https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1305937951969378304?s=20

If you're interested in making your voice heard, if you're sick of ICE's Concentration Camps treating immigrants like chattel, and worse, as if their lives are worthless, then hop to it!

Another quick'n'easy action you can take right from the comfort of your home, to help immigrants being held in prisons when they've committed no crimes, and these women in particular:
This thread, for many MANY other documented instances of medical abuse and neglect at ICE and CBP facilities. https://twitter.com/ImmDef/status/1306019827795005444?s=20
Not to mention, in case y'all fricken forgot, cuz I HAVEN'T, but SEVEN CHILDREN DIED in Federal custody inside of a year because of this administration's zero tolerance POLICY of taking those kids away from their parents, and otherwise detaining them.
