Like an Experimental Concentration Camp: Whistleblower Complaint Alleges Mass Hysterectomies at ICE Detention CenterJERRY LAMBE
Sep 14th, 2020, 12:58 pm
Several legal advocacy groups on Monday filed a whistleblower complaint on behalf of a nurse at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center documenting jarring medical neglect within the facility, including a refusal to test detainees for the novel coronavirus and an exorbitant rate of hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women.
The nurse, Dawn Wooten, was employed at the Irwin County Detention Center (ICDC) in Georgia, which is operated by LaSalle Corrections, a private prison company. The complaint was filed with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by advocacy groups Project South, Georgia Detention Watch, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and South Georgia Immigrant Support Network.
Multiple women came forward to tell Project South about what they perceived to be the inordinate rate at which women in ICDC were subjected to hysterectomies a surgical operation in which all or part of the uterus is removed. Additionally, many of the immigrant women who underwent the procedure were reportedly confused when asked to explain why they had the surgery, with one detainee likening their treatment to prisoners in concentration camps.
<...>
When I met all these women who had had surgeries, I thought this was like an experimental concentration camp. It was like theyre experimenting with our bodies, the detainee said.

Last June I was flying back home from Phoenix and this woman had these 3 little girls that she was bringing to the Bay Area. The girls were twins about 4 years and an older girl about 9. They all had this scared looks on their faces and clutching brand new dolls. We were boarding and they were ahead of me and ended up sitting in First class. They did not speak English but I said something to them in Spanish and they acknowledged me. I waited in the baggage claim area to see them again but it really bothered me that they were in obvious distress. to this day I think of those little girls and wonder if they were being sex trafficked.

(10,269 posts)I fully expect Kalie to say nah, it's all fake news, and then when proven wrong about that she'll blame the private contractor, who will then blame the doctor as an individual, who will turn around and blame the paperwork bureaucracy and all the 'red tape' that things just get lost in,
And then the White House will accuse the Democratic Party of being responsible with some bullshit about how if they had helped us build the wall, all of this could have been avoided.

(34,661 posts)it will be the total end to anything Trump Crime Family related.
Our Family Doctor back in the Forties and Fifties was one of the first Medics to enter the Camps in Eourpe. Still recall him telling any one who would listen, as well as holding a Village general assembly at our Village meeting Hall, about the Horrors he witnessed as well as the Experiments his group uncovered.

(3,435 posts)..its not trump admin, or ice or evil ghouls like steve millers--orders come from trump! This, the 200,000 lives, lost from covid 19, the 7 dead refugee children [that we know of ] continued abuses that they and their families continue to be subjected to-- it's all on trump, under his watch; his cruelty has no boundaries.
Recently read that 2000 unaccompanied refugee children were unaccounted for--whats happened to them? [Could be wrong on # on edit, will provide source. ]
Question: Just how does one file a complaint on odioustrump for human rights violation, crimes against humanity with the Hague court?

(808 posts)This is beyond horrendous. Unfortunately, it's not hard to believe though. This sickens me. WTF is going on and as someone else said, quite a few people, including doctors and medical staff have to be in on this.
I wonder if they're doing other kinds of "tests" on these helpless, imprisoned people. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were trying out different unapproved coronavirus treatments and vaccine trials on them. I really am at a loss for words.

She was a fucking Federal Judge and the media should have raised her comments with the judicial branch.
They are Concentration Camps - these are crimes against humanity and a lot of people should be heading to prison

(9,670 posts)The real and inherent danger to our democratic republic is also a Russian front masquerading as a major national political party.
Not only should people go to jail over this - a LOT of people, I would add - the use of capital punishment should certainly be on the table. Never Again.
