Detainee Alleges Rape in Federal Custody | New York City News
Description
A detained Colombian immigrant alleges he was raped by another detainee at Delaney Hall, prompting urgent legal and humanitarian concerns. His attorney says he was hospitalized, placed in medical isolation, then abruptly transferred to a Mississippi prison without explanation — cutting off legal access and straining his relationship with his U.S. citizen husband. The victim, who has HIV and no criminal record, is now reportedly denied proper medication. Authorities have declined to act, citing jurisdictional limits, while DHS remains silent. This case raises alarms about punitive detention and systemic failures in protecting vulnerable detainees.
