One woman has been denied cancer treatment for more than two months. Other detainees have attempted to kill themselves.
Immigrant women being held in a Texas detention center say they are being denied proper medical care ― in some cases cancer treatment ― and have become suicidal after lengthy stays in the facility, according to interviews done this month by the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services .
“I am having problems sleeping and am exhausted,” she said in the declaration, adding that she has been detained since June. “I am very worried about my health.” Story continuesImmigration and Customs Enforcement “is knowingly endangering migrants with the goal of deterring immigration at the southern border,” said Dana Gold, senior counsel at the Government Accountability Project. Gold represents two doctors who became whistleblowers after inspecting family detention centers for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security. “It’s really quite unconscionable.
“There’s a larger punitive approach that doesn’t align with our mission to care for patients,” said Dr. Altaf Saadi, a neurologist and an asylum evaluator for the Physicians for Human Rights Asylum Network, about medical services in detention centers. “Health is not the first priority.”
