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.
She filed suit against the detention center and its staff for their failure to protect her from sexual violence, even though they were aware of the risk. The record in the case, E.D. v. Sharkey, shows that her assailant coerced and threatened her, including with possible deportation, while the defendants stood by and made jokes
Corporate manslaughter, corporate racism, sexism, violence, etc. Those are all tested in court.
Denial is just words. Make these evil bastards understand by taking their money and freedoms. It won’t be enough to bring people back, but we need to make it happen.
