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 declined to say how many total students had enrolled in the university or how the authorities would use the tuition fees that were collected. — New York Times

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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
