ICE: Forced Sterilization in Georgia

A nurse at a Georgia ICE Detention Center reports mass hysterectomies performed on women who didn’t understand what was happening. This is beyond horrific.

Make no mistake: This is the use of for-profit prisons for eugenics — an inhumane treatment of human beings.

The removal of children and forced sterilization of human beings is genocide according to the UN. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time America has committed such acts, from the treatment of Boricua, the Tuskegee Study, and Margaret Sanger to today. This is nothing new.

In 1932, the Public Health Service, working with the Tuskegee Institute, began a study to record the natural history of syphilis in hopes of justifying treatment programs for blacks. In the summer of 1973, a class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of the study participants and their families.

We must have an independent, nonpartisan commission to investigate the inhumane practices & directives of the White House and executive agencies like ICE. I’m calling on my colleagues and supporters to join me in this call to action.

We MUST condemn any government agency engaged in eugenics — no matter who is the President — as concentration camps. Pure and simple.

This is bigger than immigration reform. My campaign manager and communications director are both Jewish.

Yad Vashem is Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.

These actions bring to mind the torture and terror of the Shoah and the actions of Mengele and his demented followers. (Shoah is the Hebrew term for the Holocaust )

They do not belong on United States soil.

President James Madison

James Madison ensured that our constitutional rights, unless explicitly linked to citizenship, applied to anyone on our land.

That’s why it’s called “the law of the land.” That way, everyone would know that America truly is the land of the free.

I leave you with the words of Benjamin Franklin:

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

We all deserve both.
