‘Like an Experimental Concentration Camp’: Whistleblower Complaint Alleges Mass Hysterectomies at ICE Detention Center

JERRY 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.

“Recently, a detained immigrant told Project South that she talked to five different women detained at ICDC between October and December 2019 who had a hysterectomy done,” the complaint stated. “When she talked to them about the surgery, the women ‘reacted confused when explaining why they had one done.’ The woman told Project South that it was as though the women were ‘trying to tell themselves it’s going to be OK.’”

1. Dear Gawd! This is a crime against humanity

WTF?

[Me.]

2. Some Day We Are Going To Pay An Awful Price For This

[aggiesal]

15. I agree, this is being done under our names ...

this makes me & .

[Turbineguy]

20. The Germans paid a terrible price for Hitler.

Wing nutz don't seem to connect to that.

[Me.]

21. THat's An Interesting Correlation

and sadly has the possibility of being true

[mysteryowl]

3. I am speachless

[drray23]

4. if thats the case, those who did that should be tracked down and jailed for life.

This is on par with the genocidal horrors performed in third world countries. Just because they do it under anesthesia and in an operating room does not make it any better.

[LiberalLoner]

9. Who says they used an OR and anesthesia? Are we sure they used

Proper procedures? I wouldn’t put anything past these criminals.

Even if they did...It took me over a month before I wasn’t in pain every day after I had my hysterectomy. If they did these forcibly and for no medical reason, that is flat out torture and crimes against humanity.

5. This is just like when they intentionally gave syphilis to blacks.

I want to say it was in SC, but any state in the Bible Belt would seem right.

That story was what fueled rumors that the CIA was somehow transmitting the AIDS virus to passengersat the San Fran airport in the 80s.

14. That's the one. Thanks.

More American exceptionalism.

[Leghorn21]

6. Thank you, Dawn Wooten

Finally, a fkn whistleblower from deep in the bowels of the camps

Anyone surprised, hell no

7. The reporting in the Intercept has a far different emphasis,

but the allegations are indeed included in the complaint.

[ms liberty]

8. K&R. n/t

[people]

10. Hysterectomies

The U.S. did it to black women in the south and now they are doing it to Latinas. It's like Nazi U.S.A.

[Bayard]

11. So, I'm guessing,

The rationale being if they do the procedure before deporting these women, there won't be kids showing back up at the border.

[jayfish]

12. "Pro-Life" at its' Finest. -NT-

[Judi Lynn]

17. Isn't that the truth? Thanks for making that point. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

16. I think they're also working with their belief Latin women all want to have "anchor babies"

which will give the children American citizenship.

They've born that suspicion/grudge against immigrant women for decades.

[2naSalit]

18. Also protects...

Rapists from impregnating their victims.

[jmowreader]

23. That's a nice thought, but no

Trump is punishing these women for the sin of entering the United States by taking away their ability to reproduce.

We are at the point right now where we need to figure out some way of stripping the citizenship of and permanently banishing Trump from the United States. He has lost the right to call himself an American.

[Star-Thrower]

19. Omg

This is ghastly. All involved in this horrific violation of these women should be charged and sent to prison.

[keithbvadu2]

22. Eugenics?

Eugenics?

[radius777]

24. This is barbaric and should 'breaking news' on every station.

This is white nationalism, basically trying to sterilize latina women so they wouldn't produce brown kids.
