"On April 28, a nurse at the Aurora ICE Processing Center near Denver called 911. A woman in custody, four months pregnant, had arrived at the facility's medical unit, bleeding and in pain."
"A WIRED investigation into 911 calls from 10 of the nation's largest immigration detention centers found that serious medical incidents are rising at many of the sites."
An investigation by WIRED into emergency calls from ICE detention centers reveals a crisis in medical care, with rising incidents of severe emergencies, including pregnancy complications and suicide attempts. Analysis of 911 recordings indicates that over 60% of the examined facilities reported serious incidents, including allegations of sexual abuse. Since January, nearly 400 emergency calls were made from these centers, illustrating a system overwhelmed by crises. Immigrant advocates and experts express concern about the urgent need for reform and improved health support within the facilities.
