Nurse at immigration jail claims doctors performed mass hysterectomies on detainees, complaint says

OCILLA, Ga. A nurse at an immigration detention center in Georgia says authorities performed questionable hysterectomies, refused to test detainees for COVID-19 and shredded medical records.
Advocacy group Project South has filed a complaint with the Homeland Security Department's internal watchdog that relies heavily on the nurse's words.
That nurse, Dawn Wooten, worked at the Irwin County Detention Center in southern Georgia. In addition to holding detainees for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it also serves those arrested by the U.S. Marshals and the Irwin County Sheriff's Department.
In her complaint, Wooten called a gynecologist who works outside the facility, "the uterus collector." She claimed that nearly every inmate who saw the doctor received a hysterectomy and claimed the doctor removed the "wrong ovary" on at least one patient.
Wooten said it was unclear if the patients particularly immigrant women knowingly agreed to the procedure, which would prevent them from having children in the future.
She says she saw a sick-call nurse shred a box of detainee complaints without looking at them.
Wooten claimed she was eventually fired from the facility for raising concerns about COVID-19. She said she was demoted after she missed time for presenting symptoms of the virus.
She claims that inmates were likely infected with the virus at a rate much higher than reported because the facility declined to use two rapid-testing COVID-19 machines. Wooten said no staff members had been trained to use the machines and she only saw them in use once.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it will defer to the Homeland Security inspector general.
"That said, in general, anonymous, unproven allegations, made without any fact-checkable specifics, should be treated with the appropriate skepticism they deserve," the agency said in a statement.
LaSalle Corrections, a private company that owns and operates the facility, did not respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
Well maybe you can donate to their go-fund-me accounts!
As for you never being arrested (allegedly), all I can say is that after seeing what people in Minneapolis got away with during the riots it's clear to see they don't arrest people! And even when they do, most think they can just jive-talk their way out of it.

Powersroker youve never been arrested?!?!?
You dont know what your missing!
Back in my younger years, I was arrested plenty. The job I have now put me through a level II background check which had me a tad worried
But I guess it All goes away after 25 years.
Let's be clear, it's not that I've never done anything that a person would generally get arrested for. It's just that I wasn't caught in the act of doing it. And now I'm 40 and have mellowed quite a bit, so the chances of an arrest are pretty slim going forward.
So you were trouble back in the day eh? That's pretty hot!
The only time in my life that the Supreme Court stole an election was the Bush V Gore case. Since then, the court has moved even farther to the right, so it's not a strategy I'm planning to use.
Oh sure, just not in my lifetime... For example, Carter's re-election loss was due in no small part to Reagan secretly conspiring with the Iranian government to keep American hostages in custody until after the election. It was treason on the part of Reagan, that one Bill Barr helped to bury when it was investigated in the 90's.
Reagan was President from 1981-1989, as I am sure you already knew.
So in other words you don't want to answer the question because to suggest that at NINE years of age you could have really had any idea what happend outside of what you were told is preposterous.
But nice try!

The Iran scandal wasn't exactly common knowledge to anyone at the time regardless of age. It was investigated in the 90's and Bill Barr buried it. I don't see how my age at the time is relevant because treason is treason no matter how long it takes to be uncovered, or how many people are doing the covering.
Things like the right to a speedy trial, due process of law and the statutes of limitations are essential because everyone knows that as time goes on and power changes hands - so do the facts.
But I will entertain this notion that you have laid out above, at Obama's trial when it comes to pass that giving Iran over a billion in cash was not only wrong - it was illegal.

If Obama paying a legitimate claim, ordered by an international court that the US helped to establish, and paid said claim not with taxpayer dollars, but with a fund set up by Congress specifically for paying such claims is illegal as you suggest. Could you then cite the specific statute in US Code that you believe he violated in so doing?
Well, Spanish is NOT the language of the land PowerStroker.
I don't know what happened in this situation, however I know that if the left is pushing it - then it's more likely than not, bullshit.
It's not that I don't care, it's just that I don't believe you - or your sources!
That is what happens when you cry wolf one too many times, and it's only going to get worse for your party in that regard - starting on November the 3rd 2020!

Every time I've cried wolf, there has actually been a wolf. My credibility is just fine thanks. And you should be more careful with your grammar when touting your superior education. Because for some of us who hide in the bushes and wait for people to step on their dicks, this is just too easy.

You keep saying that word for word, almost verbatim, every time you are presented with the question.
Why would Obama choose to pay CASH!? Because the banks in Iran were not permitted to do business with American financial institutions?
Why would Iran be banned from the US banking system? Could it have been because Iran was an established state sponsor of terror?
When congress set up this "fund" did they say that breaking the law to return the money in untracable cash was okay?
I sure hope they got that in writing.

I'm glad you feel that way! Perhaps the people in the immigration jail should read your post to better understand why we have rules to ensure they can speak the native language before they enter.
Also, I have a pretty good idea what you do with yourself in the bushes... and it don't have anything to do with me stepping on my dick.

Actually you might want to buy some of these right now. Because once your religious judges outlaw condoms, the price on used ones will go through the roof.
Though in your case you can probably just get some rubber gloves and cut the pinky fingers off.
Sounds like you have experence in the department of using fingers off rubber gloves! I can only take you word for it because I don't use them.
Also, there currently is a rubber shortage as I read that one of the main companies that makes them shut down due to the Kung-Flu. I'm feeling lazy right now but I am sure Democrat Google will return results just as quickly as you last in bed.
