Since the @ProjectSouth report came out, movement orgs like @SoGA_Support @GLAHR_ @GaDetWatch, immigration lawyers coordinated by @AILANational members @ leaders, systemic change & mass rep experts at @ThinkLawLab, & health professionals at @Doc4CampClosure PHR, CVR assembled.
The record these advocates and professionals built assisted @RepJayapal with building a coalition to introduce, debate, and pass #HRes1153. @HispanicCaucus went to #ShutDownIrwin & heard directly from women. @JacksonLeeTX18 intervened to protect and free an Amin surgery survivor.
.@RepEspaillat personally intervened to free five Dominican women, including two confirmed Amin survivors from for-profit prisons.
@RashidaTlaib, @AOC, @RepPressley, & @IlhanMN answered the call to engage the United Nations in an international human rights investigation of ICE

Still, survivors remain imprisoned.
Still, DHS is deporting them.
Still, LaSalle threatens women who seek medical care with solitary confinement that they dub “medical isolation” and then has them sign a “refusal” form that the company uses to justify denying care.

Dozens of credible, specific violations of imprisoned immigrant women’s bodily autonomy
Confirmed allegations of unneeded hormonal birth control injections causing them to bleed vaginally
Confirmed allegations of invasive, unwanted surgeries.
What will it take to #BelieveWomen?

Or maybe we as a society DO believe them. And we’ve just elected it’s not something we’ll choose to care about.
