<p>Chicanos Por La Causa fully echoes the call for an immediate investigation into a Georgia ICE detention center where a whistleblower claims medical atrocities and neglect occurred.</p> <p>Alleged health care abuses at the Irwin Detention Center include questionable hysterectomies and a refusal to test for and report coronavirus cases among detainees – all inhumane actions, if true.</p> <p>On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General to look into the 27-page complaint, which also included destruction of medical records as a cover-up.</p> <p>CPLC calls for all updates and findings from the investigation to be publicly disclosed in full transparency. The first question, of course, is whether atrocities cited by a facility nurse occurred.</p> <p>Given the past record of ICE – including the separation of children from their parents and deaths of detainees while in ICE custody – the question of whether there is systemic abuse also must be addressed.</p> <p>We urge a swift but thorough investigation.</p>
