Desde la fiscalía de San Isidro a cargo de John Broyad, mientras realizan diligencias, evalúan “extraer copias certificadas de laCausa”, y así, separar la investigación en manos de la justicia federal, competente en temas drogas ilícitas.
Quizás la decisión de que sea la justicia federal se relacione por dos hechos (hemos escuchado en los supuestos audios) en los que intervendría el Dr. Leopoldo Luque con otras personas. En el caso de la psiquiatra Agustina Cosachov podría darse por el expendio de recetas.
La otra figura legal a investigar - si así lo determina la fiscalía-, es la figura de “suministro gratuito de estupefacientes”. Recordemos que hasta el momento la autopsia no originó esa ingesta, pero se esperan resultados. Por más que no exista un pago, la ley 23.737, art. 5, e)

A HORRID UPDATE on the #Adelanto COVID19 outbreak: 6 detainees have been hospitalized for #COVID19 complications so far out of the reported 38 positive cases. Entire Housing 5 unit is on lock down. Chaos is unreal.

#FreeThemAll
In Adelanto West 5D housing unit

* 4 detainees had negative #COVID19 results

* 2 have a pending test

All six refused to leave their housing unit and remain with the 33 who tested positive.

This is just awful.
since 14 September when the outbreak "officially" began GEO has NOT tested any of its staff. I was just told that medical personnel were also not tested, then it changed that "some have been tested".

If you work for Wellpath in Adelanto, my DM are open!

BREAKING: Adelanto Detention Center has now a #COVID19 outbreak. We heard yesterday that 32 ppl were in quarantine by noon. @ahilan_toolong & the @aclu team confirmed 38 case as of last night. This is after 300 new arrests were made by ICE in LA the last 50 days. Connect the dots
This is so heartbreaking.

ICE has refused to release ppl with disabilities and chronic medical conditions AND without criminal record.

ICE has refused to release or test ppl with symptoms claiming they do not meet the CDC requirements for testing.
ICE continues to arrest and transfer ppl to ADC from both CBP and state prisons without little protocols for monitoring ppl.

Medical staff are abusive to ppl who complain or make repeated sick calls.

#THREAD: In May we began to receive distressing calls to our Hotline about a toxic chemical disinfectant being used at #Adelanto. Callers described bloody noses, nausea, & skin burns.

As a result, we filed a civil rights complaint with @IC4IJ. laist.com/2020/05/22/adv…
The chemical is called HDQ Neutral. According to the label, this toxic substance should only be used outside in well-ventilated areas. Not in cages.

A fact-sheet from @Earthjustice describes just how dangerous HDQ Neutral is.

#FreeThemAll ImageImage
Despite the civil rights complaint & public outcry from over 1.5 mil ppl who signed a petition demanding that ICE stop using HDQ, people are still in danger.

Meanwhile, we received reports of toxic chemical disinfectants being used at other ICE prisons.

"The [toxic chemical disinfectant] HDQ is accumulating and the air that we breathe is just full of HDQ. As I am writing now I am unable to breathe,"

🧵 #Thread: 3 mo. ago we launched a #COVID19 Hotline to document abuses in ICE prisons. Since then, we received nearly 10k calls.

We just published our latest report analyzing data from the Hotline & media reports. Here’s what we found 👇 #FreeThemAll freedomforimmigrants.org/covid19

ICE continued to transfer people between its facilities, including to & from facilities with large known concentrations of #COVID19.

By ICE’s own admission, it has transferred people with positive cases of #COVID19.

This is a reckless process that must end.

Since May 11, we have received multiple calls a day from #Adelanto, regarding serious health consequences caused by a toxic chemical distributed by GEO Group staff.

Here's just some of what we've heard from Hotline callers:

#FreeThemAll
“The disinfection spray that the facility is using is hurting us. Everyone in our facility has been having bloody noses, burning eyes, headaches & our bones have been
hurting. On the bottle it says that it has 'irreversible eye damage & skin burns.'"

#FreeThemAll
"When I blow my nose, blood comes out. They are treating us like animals. One person fainted
and was taken out, I don't know what happened to them. There is no fresh air."

As advocates, us included, continue to sound the alarm that @ICEgov detention centers will become death camps if folks aren’t released + as ICE continues to claim they are taking necessary steps to protect + stop the spread of Covid + - here’s what happened last Friday. Thread.
Our attorney’s client visit happened to coincide with a #freethemall car procession outside of Adelanto that day (4.23). She arrived at 8am. She noticed a Telemundo van parked outside to cover the protests which started at 10am.

That day marked the 1st time ever she had seen any guards wearing PPE. She noted some were wearing homemade masks even though our attorneys were denied entry when they showed up in the ones our co-founder Nora Phillips made them. We were told masks had to be OSHA approved. 2/

As Congress negotiates another #COVID19 stimulus package, we must continue the pressure to #DefundHate

@ICEgov cannot keep people safe even with a multi-billion $ budget

@MigrantFreedom is tracking @ICEgov response to #COVID19 on an interactive map.

@ICEgov Here's some of what we've documented:

A person detained at #Adelanto called our Hotline to report broken AC units, a lack of soap in the dispensers, and guards going into work with no PPE.

#DefundHate
A loved one of a person detained at La Palma called our Hotline this week:

"Hygiene there is virtually non existent. There is no soap or toilet paper, not free or for purchase. They never tell detained men what's happening, just leave them locked up all day long."

GEO can’t cover up the truth. Detention is inhumane, unnecessary, and carries a shocking record of abuse and in-custody deaths. We’ve been visiting with impacted persons detained at #Adelanto since 2012. We know just how terrible this immigrant prison is.

Thread 👇
In 2015 we co-authored an investigative report w/@DetentionWatch that exposed not only the sheer brutality of #Adelanto, but also how it was far from the economic savior private prison GEO Group pitched it to be.

@DetentionWatch In 2018, we released the first national study focusing on abuse motivated by hate and bias toward asylum seekers and other individuals in U.S. immigration detention.

Here's how GEO staff verbally abused immigrants in their custody:
