A Child's Forehead Partially Removed, Four Deaths, The Wrong Medicine -- A Secret Report Exposes Heal

[JoeOtterbein]

Buzzfeed

Immigrants held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement jails around the US received medical care so bad it resulted in two preventable surgeries, including an 8-year-old boy who had to have part of his forehead removed, and contributed to four deaths, according to an internal complaint from an agency whistleblower.

The allegations appear in an explosive Department of Homeland Security memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, containing reports of detainees being given incorrect medication, suffering from delays in treating withdrawal symptoms, and one who was allowed to become so mentally unstable he lacerated his own penis and required reparative surgery.

The whistleblower reported that three people had died in ICE lockup after receiving inadequate medical treatment or oversight, and said official reports on a fourth person’s death were “very misleading.” One man died from meningitis following “grossly negligent” care. Another killed himself after saying he would do exactly that months earlier.

The allegations were laid out in a March 20 memorandum signed by Cameron Quinn, DHS’s officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and sent to top ICE leadership. The memo describes the whistleblower as someone within the ICE Health Service Corps, or IHSC, which provides medical care and oversight for detainees in the agency’s custody. BuzzFeed News does not know the person’s identity.

12. Well for starters where are our governments

One of the victims mentioned here is a 47 year old Jamaican man

[JoeOtterbein]

13. Yes. What the hell are we doing?

We are becoming as horrible as we always said we would never become.

I'm sick of being so ashamed.

[CaptYossarian]

19. They've been blocking Democrats from a few of these Concentration Camps.

Trump must have been told about the Nazis experimenting on twins back in the day, including live autopsies without painkillers.

Again, the Evil-gelicals cheer. (Another of my catch phrases that should get back to the right people. Maybe they'll think, if possible.)

[malaise]

22. Clearly there are reasons they don't want

others to see inside their Concentration Camps

[CaptYossarian]

24. Crimes against humanity.

Except they don't see non-whites as human. These are despicable bastards--including Falwell, Graham, and Robertson.

3. Unconscionable negligence

From the article:

Rayson, a 47-year-old Jamaican immigrant, died approximately two months after being taken into ICE custody and a month “after being transferred to a hospital for nausea, vomiting, and pain,” according to a report by four advocacy groups. At the hospital, the report said he was diagnosed with “a fast-growing but treatable form of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and died nine days later.”

Medical experts interviewed by BuzzFeed News said the series of allegations required additional scrutiny, including from Congress.

“The allegations, if they are true, are serious and deserve really careful scrutiny about what went wrong, why it went wrong, and it is very possible they represent a more fundamental problem with the ICE health care system,” said Marc Stern, a public health expert and faculty member at the University of Washington.

9. A shame and a sorrow and a crime against the helpless

[CaptYossarian]

21. That's what bullies do.

I've defined a bully as: A narcissistic sociopath with delusions of grandeur.

I don't know how close that is to the textbooks or to Merriam-Webster, but it's just my experience with so many of them.

They're also scared Trump-less and usually need accompaniment to do their evil.

10. War Crimes

tRump has declared war on immigrants. Try him for international crimes in the Hague. If he demurs, make him like Kissinger--he can never leave the country again.

[JoeOtterbein]

14. Yes.

War crimes.

(more fucking tears)

[Duppers]

16. Yes, thank you! nt

15. Melania expressed the administration's feelings

[lambchopp59]

17. That was an all-time low for first ladies.

It's bad enough thousands of snaggletooth, racist idiots support the most sickening, vile president ever.
Doubling down on that wearing the lowest common denominator of grungy clothing was beyond belief.

[CaptYossarian]

23. She can be known as Jackie OMG.

No glamour, no class, no taste--and she's the THIRD Lady.

Just a foreign golddigger who married to live in this country. Barron was an anchor baby. (Tell his half-wit supporters.)

[orangecrush]

18. This is what Democrats are fighting against

And the ones who cheer this should be treated the way nazis were treated after the war.

[demtenjeep]

20. WTF

this is hitler redoux


remember during Hitler, they would torture a twin to see if the other twin would feel it




I attended a lecture by concentration camp survivor and he told us he remembers seeing his newborn nephew being thrown out a hospital window and caught on a Nazi bayonete

[ck4829]

25. Unacceptable

[Maru Kitteh]

26. Who has standing to bring this as crimes against humanity before the Hague?
