If You Thought ICE Couldn't Get Any Worse, Let Me Tell You About Their Alleged Forced Hysterectomies

If You Thought ICE Couldn't Get Any Worse, Let Me Tell You About Their Alleged Forced Hysterectomies

Maybe you've heard of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from their scandal last year where they faked a university just to arrest international students. The fake university was created in Michigan and made more than $250,000 in profit.

ICE's agenda has taken a quick turn toward migrant women at their detention camps. A whistleblower complaint made by a nurse who's worked at ICE for three years alleged negligence and poor safety precautions around the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). The nurse, Dawn Wooten, also made claims of dangerous and unsanitary conditions and an alarmingly high rate of hysterectomies. The hysterectomies were allegedly being performed on Spanish-speaking women who do not have a good understanding of English medical terminology to understand the invasive procedures they've been undergoing.

"If true, the appalling conditions described in the whistleblower complaint – including allegations of mass hysterectomies being performed on vulnerable immigrant women – are a staggering abuse of human rights." — Nancy Pelosi

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is demanding that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general needs to run a full investigation. The identity of one of the gynecologists allegedly involved has already been made public. With more than 160 Democrats who have signed a letter addressed to the DHS inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, I hope the full truth comes out.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
