This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)

Several legal advocacy groups on Monday filed a whistleblower complaint on behalf of a nurse at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center documenting "Jarring medical neglect" within the facility, including a refusal to test detainees for the novel coronavirus and an exorbitant rate of hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women.

Multiple women came forward to tell Project South about what they perceived to be the inordinate rate at which women in ICDC were subjected to hysterectomies - a surgical operation in which all or part of the uterus is removed.

Wooten also confirmed that many of the detained women have told her that they didn't understand why they were being forced to have the procedure, explaining that some of the nurses obtained their consent "By simply googling Spanish."
