If true, the appalling conditions described at an ICE detention facility including allegations of mass hysterectomies performed on immigrant women are a staggering abuse of human rights. @DHSOIG
must immediately investigate these allegations.

Want to see Steve Miller and his Spouse stand in the Dock at the Hague for crimes against Humanity.
BTW,this type of crap has always circled the toilet drain of the far right Republican Party since Ike.

(86,775 posts)I suppose it's been or is being looked into. That also means that Rachel Maddow will be telling us more by tomorrow if not tonight. She and her team are good investigators.

Treating human refugees like abandoned animals. As Jesus would do! But those animals get better food, attention, medical care and at least make every effort to get them adopted to a loving family. Not a Devos Christian Cult. This evil regime needs Euthanized. Including ICE and the Doctors????performing the mutilation.

(2,597 posts)These self-same people on the right who are always preaching about the "sanctity of life" are stripping young women of bearing children in the future, while at the same time passing laws that seek to punish American women by seeking capital murder charges against them if they want to avail themselves to their constitutionally guaranteed right to an abortion.

(10,064 posts)Indiana passed the worlds first sterilization law in 1907. Thirty-one states followed suit. State-sanctioned sterilizations reached their peak in the 1930s and 1940s but continued and, in some states, rose during the 1950s and 1960s.
The United States was an international leader in eugenics. Its sterilization laws actually informed Nazi Germany. The Third Reichs 1933 Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases was modeled on laws in Indiana and California. Under this law, the Nazis sterilized approximately 400,000 children and adults, mostly Jews and other undesirables, labeled defective.

Involuntary sterilizations should be made illegal, although I might make an exception for the Trumps and the Millers. The world does not need any more of them.
