Six weeks ago @ProjectSouth and @GovAcctProj filed a #Whistleblower complaint alleging horrific medical abuses at #ShutDownIrwin

We’ve asked nearly every day:
How many surgeries did ICE pay doctor Amin to perform?

They won’t tell you. Why?

17 Amin patients remain at Irwin
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.

Late last night at the Irwin County Detention Center a woman had an asthma attack and passed out. She’s still in really bad shape and needs urgent assistance. Meanwhile, LaSalle Corrections, which gets paid every day she’s there, and ICE are lying to Congress about her condition.
Follow @SomosSouth @GaDetWatch @ProjectSouth and @GLAHR_ for the latest on this life-threatening example of rampant medical abuse and neglect.
Retaliation is now in full swing against the people attempting to seek a lifeline.

The guards are fulfilling every bit of the narrative folks argued so strenuously against during the debate on @RepJayapal’s #HRes1153

They think the cameras don’t work. They’re counting on it.

"The hospital administrator is a woman. She's a good lady. And the doctor is an immigrant."

Statement from Irwin County Hospital being read on the House Floor in debate on @RepJayapal's #Hres1153

They won't say how many surgeries Dr. Amin has performed.

Say it. We dare you.
Dr. Mahendra Amin "has been in good standing" for the entirety of his time at Irwin County Hospital.

Even when he was settling with DOJ for $520k, apparently.
.@RepLouCorrea "Why would ICE contract with a medical provider who was fined half a million dollars by the DOJ?"
