A resurfaced case involving an ICE detention officer who admitted to raping a woman in custody in exchange for access to her child is reigniting scrutiny of abuse inside US detention facilities as sentencing approaches.
The case centres on a former contract detention officer employed at an ICE facility who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a detained immigrant woman over several months. Prosecutors allege the abuse was tied to coercive favours, including allowing the woman limited contact with her daughter.
