The person in custody did not have any medical follow-up appointments.<\/p>\n<p>The report also said that the detainee did not receive even the most basic care for his wound.<\/p>\n<p>In Georgia, a nurse ignored an ICE detainee who urgently asked for an inhaler to treat his asthma. Even though he was never examined by the medical staff, the nurse put a note in the medical record that &#8220;he was seen in sick call.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Pennsylvania, a group of correctional officers strapped a mentally ill male ICE detainee into a restraint chair and gave the lone female officer a pair of scissors to cut off his clothes for a strip search.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no justifiable correctional reason that required the detainee who had a mental health condition to have his clothes cut off by a female officer while he was compliant in a restraint chair. This is a barbaric practice and clearly violates &#8230; basic principles of humanity,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Both the former US President Donald Trump and the Joe Biden administration have avoided sharing the report, which reveals the practices against immigrants for more than three years.<\/p>\n<p>NPR, which filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act, was able to access the report as a result of the federal judge&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Writing by Gozde Bayar Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
