Whistle blower claims ICE forced hysterectomies on immigrant women in Georgia detention center

Whistle blower claims ICE forced hysterectomies on immigrant women in Georgia detention center
Advocates for human rights have filed a complaint against an immigrant detention center in Georgia, accusing the center of performing high numbers of hysterectomies on Spanish- speaking women and medical neglect in refusing to contain or test patients that showed signs of Covid-19, adding to the spread of the virus in the center.
Former nurse and whistle blower Dawn Wooten worked at the centre which houses the immigrants detained by (ICE) Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Wooten alleges that hysterectomies were performed on a high number of women who reported to her that they did not fully understand why the doctor known by most as the "Uterus Collector" had to
take their uterus out.
Wooten also claims that the staff and detainees were not provided proper PPE to sanitize and maintain a safe environment during the Covid-19 virus outbreak in the centre. Proper protocol for containing the virus was not followed. The complaint alleges fabrication of medical records and falsifying numbers of reported cases to the CDC. There was no testing allowed nor an incubation period for patients who showed signs of Covid-19. Wooten contested the inhumane conditions at the facility and was demoted after resisting to work while she showed symptoms of the virus.

La antigua enfermera y el soplador de silbido Dawn Wooten trabajaron en el centro que aloja a los inmigrantes detenidos por (el HIELO) Imposición de Aduana e Inmigración. Wooten alega que las histerectomías fueron realizadas en un número alto de mujeres que le relataron que ellos no entendieron totalmente por qué el doctor conocido por el más como 'el Coleccionista de Útero' tenía a

Sixto Rodriguez "Sugar Man" celebrates birthday honorary mural
The same community that has made Goya Foods successful is protesting the chain after hearing the CEO Robert Unanue praise President Trump saying “We’re all truly blessed, at the same time, to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder,” while comparing the president to his grandfather, a Spanish immigrant who founded the company in 1936. Hispanics are the highest consumers of Goya products, the boycott is protest against the anti-Latino rhetoric and hate President Trump has spread about the Latino community calling them rapists and doing things like withholding disaster aid to Puerto Rico.
La misma comunidad que ha hecho la Comida Goya acertada protesta por la cadena después de oír al presidente Robert Unanue elogiar el Triunfo de presidente que dice “somos todos realmente benditos, al mismo tiempo, tener a un líder como el Triunfo de presidente que es un constructor,” comparando al presidente a su abuelo, un inmigrante español que fundó la compañía en 1936. Los hispanos son los consumidores más altos de productos Goya, el boicot es la protesta contra la retórica anti-Latino y el presidente de odio que el Triunfo ha extendido sobre la comunidad Latino que los llama a violadores y hace cosas como la retención de la ayuda de desastre a Puerto Rico.

International legend Sixto Rodriguez celebrated his birthday this year with the honorable gift of a mural in Southwest Detroit painted by muralist Elton Monroy Duran. Sixto, known in the 70's as "Sugar Man", was a starving musician- songwriter hoping to make it big in the U.S. His music wasn't given the praise it deserved until his album was passed around by a tourist in South Africa. He suddenly became a legend that nobody knew what happened to with gruesome rumors of his death. A 2012 documentary 'Searching for Sugarman' depicts the journey into the simple life of the talented star, the politics behind his chance at stardom in the U.S and the resurrection of Sugar Man four decades later as an international hit.
La leyenda internacional Sixto Rodriguez celebró su cumpleaños este año con el regalo honorable de una pintura mural en Detroit Sudoeste pintado por Elton Monroy Duran muralist. Sixto, conocido en los años 70 como 'Hombre de Azúcar', era un músico que pasa hambre - compositor de canciones que espera hacerlo grande en los Estados Unidos. Su música no fue dada la alabanza que esto mereció hasta que su álbum fuera pasado alrededor por un turista en Sudáfrica. Él de repente se hizo una leyenda que nadie sabía lo que pasó a con rumores espantosos de su muerte. Un documental 2012 'Buscando para Sugarman' representa el viaje en la vida simple de la estrella talentosa, la política detrás de su posibilidad en el estrellato en los Estados Unidos y la resurrección del Hombre de Azúcar cuatro décadas más tarde como un golpe internacional.
America is creating awareness!
The Community demands justice for Vanessa, honoring her life
On April 22nd, 20 year old Army soldier Vanessa Guillen was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in an armory room on the Fort Hood base in Killeen,Texas. It is alleged that her fellow soldier Aaron David Robinson,20, killed Vanessa and then contacted alleged accomplice Cecily Ann Aguilar, 22 to assist in mutilating and disposing her body.
The family of Vanessa Guillen pressed the Army investigative unit to begin looking for her in April as they suspected her disappearance may have been connected to a recent confession Vanessa made to a family member that she was being sexually harassed and was scared to report it to officials. Vanessa's body wasn't discovered until two months later in a shallow grave 25 miles east of the base.
Immediately the community began filling the streets of big cities like Houston Texas with thousands of people protesting and demanding answers from the U.S Army forcing policy makers to request an independent investigation into how the Army handled her disappearance.
It wasn't long before beautiful murals commemorating the young soldier began popping up in communities all over the nation reminding us of her prideful smile and commitment to serving her country.
In July, Detroit, Michigan Artists Southwest Freddy and Ivan Montoya collaborated on a mural rich in Vanessa's Mexican culture, divinity, honor and beauty. As a daughter of immigrant parents, Vanessa shared the same dreams as many generations of people in Detroit. The mural can be seen on the wall of Bodega Cat Detroit 2200 Scotten Ave, Detroit, MI 48209.
NBA Players fed up with police brutality, playoff games called off.
Social Upheaval is what led Milwaukee Bucks and other NBA Players to walk out of playoff games last week. Boycotts showing solidarity against the shooting of Jacob Blake from Kenosha, Wisconsin by the hands of a police officer. Others exhausted with no progress since the wrongful death of George Floyd have joined the movement in solidarity. NBA analyst Kenny Smith, compelled to support the protest, walked out of a live show saying as a black man and former player it was the right thing to do. Player Lebron James tweeted "WE DEMAND CHANGE. SICK OF IT." In the midst of the social movement, many worry things will get worse before they get better.
La Agitación Social conduce Dólares de Milwaukee y otros Jugadores de NBA a andar de juegos de desempate y boicotes de etapa en la protesta contra los disparos de Jacob Blake de Kenosha, Wisconsin a las manos de un policía. Los otros agotaron sin el progreso ya que la muerte injusta de George Floyd se ha afiliado al movimiento en la solidaridad. El analista de NBA Kenny Smith, obligado para apoyar la protesta, anduvo de un espectáculo vivo que dice como un hombre negro y antiguo jugador que esto era la cosa derecha de hacer. El jugador Lebron James pió 'EXIGIMOS EL CAMBIO. ENFERMO DE ELLO.' En medio del movimiento social, muchas cosas de preocupación empeorarán antes de que ellos se mejoren.
