The allegations of women who have been abused by federal immigration employees who demonstrate as employees to enforce immigration and customs have pushed nearly three democratic legislators to demand internal security officials immediately to launch the investigation and change the way the Federal Agency performs its job.
in A message sent this week By members Democratic women gather To the Minister of Internal Security Christie Nom, Acting Director of Ice Todd Leon and House in the White House, Tom Human and Jennifer Venton, assistant director of the ICE professional responsibility office, DWC members hated “serious concerns” about how convincing agents deal with women during federal identity enforcement.
“Throughout our lives, we learn to fear convincing men in unlimited compounds,” the message mentioned. “We learn that we must run from these men to avoid kidnapping, sexual assault, or killing. However, the ice is increasingly raids and arrests in masks, and simple clothes, without identifying or visual badges, and using unspecified compounds – causing confusion, terrorism and confidence among the public.”
ICE was criticized by immigration advocates and democratic legislators of officers who failed to identify themselves properly during immigration enforcement operations throughout the United States. Many complaints refer to masked agents accused of hiding behind the lack of disclosure of his identity, which makes it easy for the defendants to carry out attacks on women, as DWC members indicate.
The letter says that the ice is enabled to “take advantage of the uncertainty and fear of women from the consequences of migration on rape, harassment and misuse.”
Objects of ice suicide who misunderstand women extend to the country
Quoting many previous incidents that involve men who were demonstrating as federal immigration officers, DWC members said that ICE was complicit in allowing attacks involving people.
The lawmakers wrote: “These tactics called on the perpetrators of violence against women to take advantage of chaos by impersonating the personality of disguised ice agents in order to target women and sexual assault.”
The ice flavors were arrested in multiple states in the wake of the incidents of men who are pretending as federal employees. The cases included complaints filed by women in Maryland, North Carolina and New York, which they say were raped, stolen and assaulted by men who pretend to impose immigration laws.
A Latin woman says she was raped by Washington, DC, a man who thinks as a migration officer after she was forced to enter To Wosa. She said she was threatened with deportation if she did not comply.
In North Carolina, a police migratory woman told the police She was raped and kidnapped By a man who claimed to be a federal immigration officer and threatened to deport the woman if it was not complete.
In New York, the police said that a man pretends to be an ice officer She tried to rape a 51 -year -old woman After he approached the woman and said “immigration”, but he did not show a badge. Police said that the man pulled the woman to a drawer on the basement and assaulted her.
Arik Fodali, A partner and administrative partner with Bloom Firm told NewSnation on Friday that, as in many cases that involve the abuse of women, ICE officers reports involve and inform them of a power defect.
Whether these allegations include actual ice officers or those who wear clothes such as federal immigration officers or agents, the factor of fear and intimidation greatly in meetings with immigrant women detained.
“It is a really scary position due to the truly unparalleled power and power.”
Fodali said that because in many cases, ICE officers who make immigration equipment are wearing uniform clothes that are easy to repeat, the defendants follow a similar text when targeting women. In some cases, such as those in Washington and North Carolina mentioned above, men threaten women with deportation if they do not comply.
The lawyer said that fear and intimidation distinguish meetings with immigrant women who have heard of countless cases of federal officers who use their authority in their favor.
“For immigrants), it does not seem normal for a person like this to exercise their power to exploit someone and misuse it sexually,” Vodali told NewSnation. “What will (women) do?”
Naim says that ice factors always have identification
Naim said at a press conference last week on the outskirts of Chicago that ice officers “always wear something” that determines them as officers of the federal and practical migration to which they were appointed.
She admitted that sometimes, officers wear masks to protect their identity amid an increase in the reported attacks against ice officers. Naim said that the attacks on ice officers “increased by 1000 %” since the beginning of the year.
However, ICE has not repeated and repeated inquiries from newsnation and other news organizations on how to reach this number or what constitutes an attack on its officers.
Nim told that ice officers did not define themselves, “I would like to see that they had an identity and entered into situations looking for these dangerous criminals and they were verbally identified.”
ICE accused of abusing women in detention centers
This week’s message from DWC was distinguished for the second time in less than a month that the group spoke against ICE due to the abuse of alleged women. In June, The group sent a similar messageThat dealt with the abuse and abuse allegations that occur in federal detention centers where women who are waiting for deportation are held.
In the letter, legislators clarified the case of Iris Dayana Montrerouso-who was transferred to the detention of ice in May after her arrest in Tennessee. She said that Monteruso-Lelos, who was pregnant, was suffering from pain and the absence of a fetus movement for three days, yet it was ignored.
The woman told the correspondents that in the ice detention centers in Alabama and Louisiana, medical care was rejected again and again and was forced to sleep on the ground.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Interior has not responded to requests from NewSnation regarding the allegations submitted in the letter sent in July.
“Repeated and repeatedly, women are abused by ice, (customs and border protection) and contractors from detention to detention.” “These terrifying stories are the result of systematic negligence, cruelty and the failure of the policy that we must face face to face. We ask for answers, accountability and work.”
