The health of Rodney Taylor, a Liberian-born man who is a double amputee and is missing three fingers on one hand, has continued to worsen after being picked up by ICE and detained at Georgia’s Stewart immigration detention center and his case has now garnered support from a US senator.

Taylor, who has been detained for almost a year, told the Guardian he had now been diagnosed with bone spurs in his back, causing severe pain, while the silicone lining of one of his prosthetic legs has deteriorated, causing chafing and boils.
