2 Cameroonian Asylum Seekers Who May Have Been Forcibly Sterilized Are Set to Be Deported
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In immigration news, two Cameroonian asylum seekers, who fear they were
unknowingly subjected to forced sterilizations at Irwin Detention Center
in Georgia, are scheduled to be deported on Tuesday. The women are now
imprisoned at Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas. Advocates
are demanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement release them on
humanitarian grounds.
