ICE Sterilization

Allegations of coerced sterilization of detainees under ICE custody harken to the dark specter of abuses of vulnerable people held by government authority in America.

Can it happen? Yes it’s plausible based on history.

The allegations

Under eugenics laws of the early 20th century, more than 60,000 coercive sterilizations were performed throughout the US.

Our country has a gruesome history of forced sterilizations. It must end. https://t.co/a1tKmECzRu
