美移民拘留中心被曝滥摘子宫，网友：严重侵犯人权！( 三 ) 美移民拘留中心滥摘子宫

The 27-page whistleblower complaint was based on information provided by unnamed detainees and Dawn Wooten ， an ICDC nurse who the complaint said is a protected whistleblower 。

The complaint and an accompanying declaration by Wooten “document recent accounts of jarring medical neglect at ICDC ， including refusal to test detained immigrants for COVID-19 who have been exposed to the virus and are symptomatic ， shredding of medical requests submitted by detained immigrants ， and fabricating medical records 。 ” “In addition ， this complaint raises red flags regarding the rate at which hysterectomies are performed on immigrant women under ICE custody at ICDC 。 ”

面对指控， 2020年9月15日， ICE就针对欧文县拘留中心的指控举行了新闻发布会，一名高级医疗官员发表了一份声明，强烈驳斥并否认了举报信的大多数指控，称自2018年至今，只有两名女性因治疗原因而被转到该中心接受子宫切除手术。

ICE还声称， “坚决致力于保护所有被拘者的安全和福利。 ”

此外，在回应有关新冠疫情处理不当的指控时，该机构发言人表示，流行病学家一直在跟踪疫情，定期更新防控协议并予以指导。

A top medical official with ICE released a statement “vehemently” disputing the claims ， saying only two women have been referred for hysterectomies from the facility since 2018 。

ICE also claimed that the agency is “firmly committed to the safety and welfare of all those in its custody 。 ”

Besides ， ICE said in the statement： “Since the onset of reports of Coronavirus Disease 2019 （COVID-19）， ICE epidemiologists have been tracking the outbreak ， regularly updating infection prevention and control protocols ， and issuing guidance to ICE Health Service Corps （IHSC） staff for the screening and management of potential exposure among detainees 。 ”
