Quick s𝖾arch𝖾s pull up many r𝖾sults, both on indig𝖾nous p𝖾opl𝖾s and on many oth𝖾rs including migrants in ICE d𝖾t𝖾ntion. Example 1 - Indigenous Peoples Here's a link that claims "From 1907 until as recently as 2018, tens of thousands of Native women underwent tubal ligation" Example 2 - Migrants Here's a summary link of prior/current cases. "On September 14, 2020, nurse Dawn Wooten filed a whistleblower complaint . . . Wooten said that nearly every [detained migrant] woman who went to see a doctor was told she had to undergo a hysterectomy." Example 3 - Another link with more summaries and cited sources. Some were court & judge approved coercion. "As recently as May 2017, Tennessee Judge Sam Benningfield signed an order that offered misdemeanor offenders 30-day sentence reductions if they underwent either a vasectomy or a birth control implant [16]." "Between 2005 and 2013, 144 women were coerced into sterilization in California [19]." Edit: formatting permalink fedilink source parent
