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
The incident happened in 2014.
The case was filed around 2017 and was dismissed.
Of course it’s gross, but it’s been over a decade now and doesn’t have connection to the current ICE regime.
Nonsense - There is a clear thru line from the Bush admin’s creation of DHS and ICE to today
The point is that the post is created in such a way as to suggest it happened recently which is disingenuous. Based on the numerous responses here, most seem to think it. I’d rather focus on the current issues which are far more pressing than something over a decade resolved. That’s all.
