E.D., an asylum-seeker and domestic violence survivor from Honduras, was sexually assaulted by an employee while she was detained with her 3-year-old child at the Berks Family Residential Center in Pennsylvania. At the time of the assault, E.D. was 19 years old.

Sharkey, shows that her assailant coerced and threatened her, including with possible deportation, while the defendants stood by and made jokes

    You know how everyone agreed that while the world is not black and white, there were some things that were universal? Like nazism being considered universally evil?

    It’s the first time in my life that I am considering that capital punishment is not an absolute; maybe there really are people beyond redemption.
