The 18-month bipartisan investigation reviewed allegations that women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia had endured medical neglect, lax coronavirus mitigation policies and questionable procedures, including hysterectomies.
in 2020 found that some immigrant women held by U.S. immigration officials at a Georgia detention center likely underwent"unnecessary" invasive gynecological procedures, according to a report released Tuesday.reviewed allegations that women detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia had endured medical neglect, lax coronavirus mitigation policies and questionable procedures, including hysterectomies.
Dr. Peter Cherouny, the obstetrician-gynecologist tasked with reviewing the women's medical records, said Amin's approach to surgical procedures was"too aggressive," investigators said. Cherouny found Amin's care to be antiquated, calling it"pretty good medicine for the 1980s, but we're not there anymore."
The report said six formerly detained women told investigators that Amin was"rough and insensitive" during medical procedures and failed to be forthcoming about his diagnoses and treatment plans. While the Irwin County detention center held 4% of women in ICE custody between 2017 and 2020, the report said, Amin performed over 80% of certain gynecological procedures on detainees across the U.S. during that time, including laparoscopies, Depo-Provera injections, limited pelvic exams and dilation and curettage procedures.
Tuesday's report found that ICE does not have a policy of securing immigrants' consent for medical procedures conducted outside of facilities overseen by the agency. ICE officials, the report said,"stated to the Subcommittee that it is the sole professional obligation of the off-site provider to obtain informed consent from patients."
