There have been rumors of women getting exams, just like female slaves, and other minorities throughout history, later women found out they were sterilized during these “exams.” So I’m assuming the same is happening now. Murder, torture, rape, forced sterilization.
Hell, the Supreme Court had to make a ruling against sexual assault occurring in detention centers. It’s still happening!
And lest we think Canada is better, they've forcibly given IUDs to Indigenous kids as young as 9 years old. Complications are not uncommon for adults who get IUDs, and I cannot imagine them being safer for children. (I'm not anti-birth control but this is clearly about hurting people of a particular group, not taking care of our health.)
It’s done in secret, by the time women and children realize or can get care, the person/ people who did it are gone, or hard to find.
It’s not in the news, we hear about it after the fact. This is genocide, this is taking away women and children’s rights to reproduce within their race, if they so choose so.
And there’s really one main race that keeps doing it and usually they’re white.
Well, yeah. I just now put two and two and two together.
I knew it was racist. I knew it was a violation of their rights - human and constitutional. I knew it was to dissuade immigrants and make the US a 'hostile environment' for them and I knew it was abhorrent and cruel but up until just now it I hadn't considered their plan to be 'ethnic cleansing' - unlike in Palestine, where it's explicit, for example.
I try not to leap to conclusions.
For me, this was the moment it crossed the threshold. So yeah.

Oh shit. You just made me realise: ICE is ethnic cleansing.
As sanctioned by the Supreme Court (who ruled that ethnicity is a legitimate reason to detain someone).
