Immigrants held in ICE jails received medical care so bad it resulted in 2 preventable surgeries, inc. an 8-yr-old who had to have part of his forehead removed, & contributed to 4 deaths, according to a complaint from a whistleblower. My investigation:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hamedaleaziz/ice-immigrant-surgeries-deaths-jails-whistleblower-secret …
The allegations appear in a DHS memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, containing reports of detainees being given incorrect meds, suffering from delays in treating withdrawal symptoms, & one who was allowed to become so mentally unstable he lacerated his own penis & required 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.
Here is what a former sr ICE official said about this report: “This is significant & very damning. It blows up a lot of the ICE responses to allegations of poor medical care & about how it provides ‘the highest care of detainees.’ This makes that seem pretty false, which it is.”
BuzzFeed News has retyped the memo based on the whistleblower’s allegations, providing its full text, because metadata or other information in the original could compromise a source’s identity. The report is included within the story.
Incredible work, Hamed - thanks for your commitment to this. Devastating & angering.
thank you.
This Christmas, I hope each and every Christian voter is reminded of the tens of thousands of fellow Christians being imprisoned and denied basic human rights. "What you do unto the least of these you do unto Me."
tens of thousands of fellow *human beings* Jesus does not discriminate like so many of His followers do.
“The former senior ICE official told BuzzFeed News that some at the agency brush away allegations of substandard medical care. “‘The care is better than they got in their home countries’ — you hear that a lot,” the former official said.” Their cruelty cannot be justified.
