U.S. Temporarily Halts Deportation of Immigrants Who May Have Been Forcibly Sterilized in GA Prison
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In immigration news, the U.S. government has agreed to temporarily stall
the deportation of immigrants who say they may have undergone invasive
gynecological procedures - including forced sterilizations - while
imprisoned at Irwin Detention Center in Georgia. A letter by over 100
Democratic lawmakers issued earlier this month says at least six
survivors have reportedly been deported. Several others faced imminent
deportation as dozens of people came forward with horrifying stories of
invasive procedures they didn't agree to or didn't understand. Click
here to watch our interview with Jaromy Floriano Navarro, a survivor who
was deported to Mexico.
