It's #FOIA Friday and I'm almost recovered from an upper respiratory infection, so perhaps folks will be interested in seeing these Immigrant Health Services Corps policies and directives we obtained through FOIA litigation, the majority which have never been public. Here goes...

Here's the @documentcloud link , which I'll keep updated as docs come in: documentcloud.org/search/project…

Some highlights, based on recent failures by the agency to comply:
Transgender Detained Immigrants:

"Therapeutic" Solitary: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

Hunger Strikes: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

I wonder whether ICE did a foreign-country health evaluation for @MatthewHoppock's client, whose case was covered by @scottbix and called out by @SenDuckworth documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

I've thought a lot about the @ACLU's access to reproductive healthcare litigation in reviewing this policy on Emergency Contraception: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

I guess it's re-assuring that IHSC has adopted an explicit policy against human experimentation. It would be fascinating, thought, to see what research IRB has approved involving the iHSC population: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

By some estimates, as much as 20-30% of ICE's detained immigrant population (that's 10-15k people) has been under quarantine since March. Interesting to know whether IHSC has followed this policy for IHSC-staffed clinics: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

A note for elected officials: Congressional inquiries about medical neglect of civilly imprisoned immigrants go on a specific track that starts at IHSC HQ: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

While these standards don't cover the CBP hold rooms and supposedly 72-hour processing facilities in the RGV that shut down due to influenza this week, we get a peak into the way IHSC thinks such matters should work here: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

Raise your hand if you've never worked from the government and you've seen an IHSC Mortality Review: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

As ICE shuffles tens of thousands of asylum-seekers from the Southwest border to secretive facilities in Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia, how many practitioners have seen any indication that this policy is being followed? documentcloud.org/documents/6025…

And as those vulnerable asylum-seekers wind up in these parish facilities, how does ICE justify forcing them to buy their prescription meds at the commissary, which is happening at at least two parish jails where ICE recently expanded bed space.

This process has not happened with any of the many detained immigrants I'm in contact who've been physically or sexually assaulted -- including by guards -- over the past several years: documentcloud.org/documents/6025…
