Demand stronger oversight of Tacoma ICE facility


Demand stronger oversight of Tacoma ICE facility
The Issue
Ten times they have refused Health Inspectors. Not politicians not protestors, Health Inspectors.
I’ve spent 30 years in healthcare. ICU. ER. Trauma. USAF Aeromedical Evacuation. I’ve seen what happens when systems fail people. I know what neglect looks like. I know what it sounds like.
It gets quiet. The complaints pile up and the victims get silenced. Cruelty stops being an exception and starts being the policy. Cages get renamed processing stations like that changes what they are.
Over 3,500 complaints. Two deaths. Six suicide attempts. Inspectors turned away ten times even after the courts said let them in.
That’s not bureaucracy. That’s a choice.
Basic healthcare is a human right. Basic dignity is a human right. When a facility refuses oversight despite that many complaints, it’s a confession.
Sign this. Share it. No act of pushing back against these horrors is too small. This is how we make them hear us.
