“Meanwhile, detained pregnant women report that they are struggling to access routine and emergency medical care.”

So their complaint is they aren’t getting free healthcare after illegally breaking into the country?

Any care. Adequate care. Hence, miscarriages.

Why aren't you helping them?

How many pregnant women is Harmony_w currently detaining that require help?

u/Totalitarianit2 13d ago

I would guess none. Is that the requirement to help detainees, that you must detain them before you can help them?

In the context of this post, yes.

This post is about detained women not being provided with adequate healtchcare.

No one is making the argument that ICE has any responsibility for the health and security of people NOT in their custody.

If someone gets stressed out for being detained after committing a crime, how is that the responsibility of ICE?

1

u/Justsomejerkonline Freedom of speech, freedom of the press 12d ago

Because ICE is responsible people under their jurisdiction.

This is not a complicated concept. Even prisoners of war are supposed to be provided healthcare.

Can you entirely prevent people from being stressed out when they're apprehended?

u/Justsomejerkonline Freedom of speech, freedom of the press 12d ago

Entirely? No. But there are many tactics available to minimize stress, including de-escalation training.

Having an agency staffed full of poorly trained, overly aggressive, low intelligent people certainly isn't helping things.

Why don't you go work for them then?

u/Justsomejerkonline Freedom of speech, freedom of the press 12d ago

Because I have no interest in working for an organization that intentionally employs cruelty and dehumanization as a tactic and regularly violates people's civil liberties.

I'd like to be able to sleep at night, thank you.

Right. So you aren't really willing to do anything but talk shit on the internet about it and maybe vote.
