This is getting worse and worse.
The Trump administration plans to resume detaining immigrants at Georgia’s Irwin County Detention Center, a facility notorious for allegations of non-consensual gynecological procedures on women, sources tell The Intercept. ICE confirmed it will use Irwin, and advocates say temporary detentions—up to 72 hours—have already begun. The Biden administration had stopped detaining women there in 2021 after reports and lawsuits alleged widespread medical abuse; a Senate investigation found failures to obtain proper consent for invasive procedures, though mass hysterectomy claims were unsubstantiated. Advocates and former DHS officials warn the move is “inhumane” and a grave mistake, reopening deep wounds and human rights concerns. https://theintercept.com/2025/10/11/ice-georgia-irwin-detention-center-gynecological-procedures #ICE #Immigration #IrwinDetentionCenter #HumanRights #Georgia #ImmigrationReform
