ICE Forcibly Removes Woman Waiting for Emergency Brain Surgery Form Hospital

[Flopper]

A critically ill woman from El Salvador who was awaiting emergency surgery for a brain tumor this weekend was forcibly moved from a Texas hospital to a detention center by federal agents.

Sara Beltran-Hernandez, 26, a mother of two young children, with no known criminal record was bound by her hands and feet and removed by wheelchair from Huguley Hospital in Fort Worth late Wednesday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who brought her to a detention facility in Alvarado, Texas.

After being moved, she was not being given any treatment even though her nose continues to bleed and she has told them her head is exploding. This is unacceptable under our Constitution, and unacceptable from a standpoint of basic human rights,” Chris Hamilton said. This woman is critically ill and in severe pain.
Her current condition is unknown.

So she wasn't an illegal?

That has not been established.
Beltran Hernandez was picked up by immigration agents in November 2015 while trying to get from El Salvador to New York to visit her mother and other relatives who live in Queens. She has been detained ever since at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, while her family petitioned for asylum, citing threats of violence against her, from a domestic partner, among others. She was transferred from the detention center to the hospital in Fort Worth this month after complaining of headaches, nosebleeds and memory loss. Doctors diagnosed a brain tumor and put her on a waiting list for emergency surgery, which was supposed to take place this weekend.

From the link:

"The agency said in a statement Thursday, “During her stay at the hospital, ICE ensured that she was able to speak to her family and to her attorney by phone. Like all detainees in our care, Ms. Beltran will continue to have access to 24 hour emergency medical care and to any required specialized treatment at an outside facility.’’ The statement also said that a doctor had determined she was stable enough to be discharged and that she will be seen again by a medical specialist next week."


Most of the statements in the article come from her legal team, whose job it is to make ICE look bad.

The only statement given by the hospital seems to contradict the lawyers' statements.

Looks like the hospital already planned to discharge her pending an appointment the following week with a specialist. Any surgery would be scheduled after that appointment.

The actions of ICE does not really make sense. Why would they remove a woman diagnosed with a brain tumor already scheduled for surgery in 3 days to put her in detention? Brain surgery is not a cheap operation, $50,000 to $150,000 and if complications develop, the sky is limit and ICE could be stuck with the costs. And if the woman dies in detention, they're going to be facing one hell of a lawsuit. The sensible thing to do is let the woman have the surgery and then deport her.

BTW when the hospital says a patient is stable it means their condition is not worsening and they can be transported. It does not mean they don't need further care. My grandfather left the emergency room in stable condition and was dead in 48 hours.

This is where 'fake news', on your part comes in. She wasn't scheduled for surgery in 3 days. She is going to find out if it is operable or inoperable, you activist false alarmist!

This is unacceptable under our Constitution...

No, it's NOT.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Every word here is important. It says nothing about illegal aliens from other countries. It says "We the People of the United States" ....doesn't say "The World" or "North America" does it? Nope... it says "the United States." It says "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." ...nothing about illegal aliens. It's intended for US and our "Posterity" which is our descendants. So the Constitution simply doesn't apply to anyone else.

By Act of Congress, we do allow customary due process rights. We are not obligated to do this, the Constitution doesn't say we have to, but we are a civilized and humane society and due process is preferable to shooting people in the head for crossing our borders illegally.

I was gonna say she's lucky, the Grabbers Goon Squad could have just shot her in the head!

Yep, if her insurance is covering it and she is here under her doctors care in her own country, everything should be settled pretty quickly when she turns over he visa...

Dats right, P_Grabber is in the house. But I must apologize for calling the ICE agents Goons, my bad. They're just doing their jobs.

You mean ICE? Immigration and Customs Enforcement that has been around since 2002? The same ones you bragged about how many they were deporting under Obama? That wasn't too long ago, seems like you'd remember it?

She has been in detention at Prairieland for nearly two years under Obama. Why would they want her back in detention instead getting medical care so she can be deported? It's not likely EL Salvador would take her back even if a judge signed the deportation order.

Oh....well it seems she would be better off getting medical care close to her home and family then....

They don't get a choice in who to take back, they'll take back who we tell them to. That's how that works. We're not little pansy-ass pushovers anymore like under Obama. Or maybe you hadn't noticed?

She's probably one of the 95,000 that has a valid deportation order.

Something ain't right about the story. According to the article the woman was "put on the waiting list for emergency surgery". How does that work?

It means there is no surgery scheduled and she is supposed to see a specialist next week. ICE officials will get her any care needed. Doctors released her from hospital and they wouldn't do that if she was in immediate danger.

Emergency surgeries are done as needed.

The words used in article and headline are from her lawyers, not doctors. They are trying to make Trump look mean for upholding immigration laws.
