Immediately Investigate and Reform Inhumane Conditions in ICE Facilities
32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!
Demand an independent investigation into the conditions at ICE detention facilities in South Florida, particularly the Broward Transitional Center (BTC), Krome Detention Center, and Federal Detention Center Miami.
Recent reports detail horrifying accounts of medical neglect, including:
* Marie Ange Blaise, a 44-year-old Haitian national, reportedly denied medical care for chest pains before dying of heart disease
* Detainees with serious medical conditions allegedly ignored or mocked by staff
* Dangerous delays in emergency response and inadequate medical treatment
* Systemic refusal to provide necessary medications to detainees with chronic conditions
These conditions constitute a grave violation of basic human rights and international standards for humane detention. The repeated failures in medical care and emergency response demonstrate a pattern of negligence that cannot be tolerated.
I demand:
1. Immediate independent investigation of all South Florida ICE facilities
2. Full accountability for staff involved in medical neglect cases
3. Implementation of emergency medical protocols that meet professional standards
4. Regular independent monitoring of medical care in all ICE facilities
5. Transparent reporting of all medical incidents and outcomes
The continued operation of these facilities under current conditions represents a moral failure and a danger to the lives of those detained. Immediate action is required to prevent further tragedies.
