Going through ICE detention was by far one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had. Being diabetic, the denial of insulin was life-threatening—my blood sugar skyrocketed above 500, and I truly feared for my life. It highlighted severe healthcare neglect within detention centers that many detainees face but rarely get to speak about. Aside from the medical neglect, I also experienced theft firsthand while detained. An agent or guard stole my credit card and started using it while I was still locked up, which added insult to injury and showed how vulnerable detainees are to abuse and exploitation. The emotional toll of detention is immense. Being away from loved ones, facing uncertainty about your legal status, and enduring harsh conditions create a deeply traumatic environment. If you're married to a U.S. citizen and navigating the immigration process, ensure all your paperwork with USCIS is meticulously filed to avoid unnecessary detention or complications. My case was eventually terminated only because I had the proper documents submitted, which saved me from a worse outcome. I’m sharing my story to raise awareness about the critical issues of immigration detention, medical neglect, and human rights violations. Too many people go through this silently. If you or someone you know is facing similar struggles, know that you are not alone. There are communities and legal resources that can help.
