One thing that is a theme in this @HispanicCaucus press call after a codel to Irwin Detention Center in GA is that not getting informed consent appears to be the norm not the exception.

Jesus. One woman told the members of congress that she was given a pap smear with unsterilized equipment.

Congresswoman Jayapal says she has spoken to 8 women who have been subject to invasive medical procedures “without consent or knowledge.”

@RepJayapal says women told her if they are able to resist, they are given injections that have contraceptive effects. She says she believes this is an “epidemic.”

Members of congress say there is a “pattern” of diagnosing ovarian cysts and recommending invasive procedures that are not necessary. Some women have not had their periods for months, MOCs say, bc of stress but won’t go to the doc because they’re scared.

There are women who want to be deported because they would rather risk going back to whatever they were fleeing from then experience what they are at this facility, a California Democrat (whose name I didn’t catch) said on the press call. He called it a “horror show.”
