“ Less than human ”: Details of the Trump Immigration Report Detention Center Abuse | Donald Trump News

Detainees from three US immigration detention centers have reported degradation conditions, including a delay in medical treatment which can be linked to two deaths, according to a report on human rights.

The survey published Monday detailed women held in male installations, a creeping overcrowding and potentially fatal indifference to medical needs in the three installations of Miami, Florida: Krome North Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center and the Federal Detention Center.

Its authors have declared that abuses underline another aspect of the human assessment of the expulsion campaign of President Donald Trump, who forced many facilities to operate beyond their capacity. In turn, the administration asked for a DASH scaling in the expulsion infrastructure with new facilities, including “the Alligator Alcatraz” erected by the state of Florida, strengthening their own concerns and conviction.

In a press release accompanying the publication of the 92 -page report, Belkis Wille, the director of the crisis and the conflicts associated with Human Rights Watch, who has written the relationship with the Americans for the justice of immigrants and the South Sanctuary, warned that “people in immigration detention are treated as less than human”.

“These are not isolated incidents, but rather the result of a fundamentally broken detention system that is prey to serious abuse,” said Wille.

Denial of medical care

The report, which was based on the current and ancient testimonies of detainees, information from family members, lawyers and data from the Immigration and Customs Agency (ICE), detailed a lax medical care in the three establishments, which included refusal of treatment and drugs.

An inmate told guards at the end of April ignoring the cries to get help while Marie Ange Blaise, 44, a Haitian national, suffered what would prove to be a deadly medical emergency at the Broward Transitional Center.

“We started to shout for help, but the guards ignored us,” said the detainee, according to the report. As a rescue team came more than half an hour later, “she did not move”.

The detainee who detailed the death said that she was also punished for looking for mental health treatment, adding that people were regularly implemented for the request for asking for such aid.

In another case, Maksym’s wife Chernyak, a 44 -year -old Ukrainian man, said her husband’s requests in February to see a doctor were delayed on several occasions when he was fever, chest pain and other symptoms during his detention in Krome. When he saw a doctor, he received a high blood pressure diagnosis, which was not directly treated, according to his wife.

When Chernyak started vomiting, drooling and defecating himself, a cellmate said that the guards took 15 to 20 minutes to answer. When they did, they accused Chernyak of having taken illicit synthetic drugs, an assertion that the cell companion, identified only as Carlos, denied.

Chernyak was withdrawn on a stretcher, declared death of the brain and declared dead two days later.

Overcrowding and degradation behavior

In the three installations, the report detailed the flipping overcrowding with krome prisoners saying that they were kept in cells that sometimes exceeded their capacity twice.

The congestion has led to shortages of bedding, soap and other sanitation products, and some prisoners were forced to sleep on the ground.

Women have also been treated in Krome despite it to be a only male installation. The women detained in the center told investigators that they were denied showers and forced to use open toilets that are potentially visible for the male population.

“If the men stood on a chair, they could see directly in our room and the toilet,” said a woman from Argentina. “We begged to be allowed to take a shower, but they said it was not possible because it was a male installation.”

Other alleged abuses include excessive use of force, inadequate access to food, prolonged sequences and exposure to extreme heat and cold. The detainees pointed out that 30 to 40 people had entered a room intended for six and were forced to use a bucket as a toilet.

Harpinder Chauhan, a British entrepreneur who spent months bouncing between the facilities after being owned by ice during a regular immigration appointment in February, said a response from the authorities of the detention center.

“They told us that if we continued to ask for a blushing toilets, they would create a problem that we do not like,” he said.

Violations of international and interior law

All in all, the authors of the report said that allegations equivalent to violations of international law and American federal policies on immigration detention.

They stated that the conditions showed Trump’s efforts to implement mass deportations – a campaign itself is based on the constantly evidence that the crime of immigrants skips in the United States – despite appropriate resources.

The number of persons detained in immigration detention, who generally suffer their right to challenge their deportations, increased regularly since Trump took office on January 20, from January 26 on January 26 to 56,816 on July 13, according to data compiled by transactional files Access Cleatinghouse.

On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration was trying to quickly pass its detention capacity from 40,000 to 100,000 beds by the end of the year, largely by prioritizing rapid tent installations on military bases and ice properties.

The construction campaign comes after Trump signed a tax and expenses that increases by $ 45 billion unprecedented to new detention centers.

Last week, the Secretary in the United States of internal security, Kristi Noem, said that the administration would also seek to stimulate cooperation with states such as Florida to open more detention facilities such as “Alligator Alcatraz”, whose construction is initially funded by the federal government but by state taxpayers.
