ms. wooten, i had a hysterectomy, why? i had no answers as to why they had those procedures one lady walked up to me here this last time around between october of 19 until july 2 and she said, what is he, is he the uterus collector, does he collect uteruses i asked her what does she mean and she says, everybody that i talked to has had a hysterectomy and you just don't know what to say. i mean, i don't have an answer for why that they would come to me and they would say, is it a uterus collector >> would you describe -- how would you describe the standard of care, the general sort of medical environment in which these migrants were detained >> the standard of care was -- it wasn't timely all the time. they would have a procedure to where they would fill out forms to be seen those forms would be shredded. they would be told in instances that, you know, there's nothing going on with them just on numerous occasions as a human, you just don't treat people inhumane. i have a title as a licensed practical nurse, and i protect my

ms. wooten myself, which obviously i did, but also to corroborate the stories of the migrants detailed we spoke to four lawyers today every one of them said they have a client who had contact with this doctor where they were told one thing and ultimately they were -- they came out of this either having a procedure or being recommended to have a procedure that was deeply invasive and, of course, at least in two of those cases the hysterectomies took place. and one of those lawyers even told us they went to the detention facility, complained about the treatment from this doctor, but no change was ever made >> and to be clear, the complaints here from these women and their lawyers who are speaking on their behalf is essentially that they -- not that they never should have been sent tout see a gynecologist, but, rather, whatever was going on with them, they did not understand that the treatment was going to be a hysterectomy and then in some cases the allegation here is that the hysterectomies, whether or not the women consented to them in the first place, they were not medically necessary. >

ms. wooten details. and this statement they considered him the uterus collector is graphic, is hard to listen to, but that's what they're talking about according to ms. wooten inside this facility, and she's not the only one saying so. >> jacob, what should happen here legally in terms of this complaint? obviously she's casting herself as a whistle-blower. there is significant corroboration for the worst of the allegations that she's making i.c.e. is saying that this will be investigated. the facility is saying that whether or not it's investigated, they deny that any of this happened the doctor is saying essentially the same thing what do you expect to happen in terms of this being looked into, in terms of these women's claims being investigated and potentially there being accountability here? >> so the office of the inspector general, the department of homeland security will open an investigation the office of civil rights and civil liberties within the department of homeland security will look at this

ms. wooten said. this statement that they consider him the uterus collector, it's graphic, that's what thur' talking about she's not the only one saying so. >> what should happen here legally in terms of this complaint? obviously she's casting herself as a whistle-blower. there is corroboration i.c.e. is saying this will be investigated the facility will say whether or not it is investigated they denied this happened the doctor is saying the same thing. what do you expect to happen in terms of being looked into, these women's claims being investigated and being accountability here? >> so the office of inspector general, department of homeland security will open an investigation. the office of civil rights and civil liberties. what this gets to, one of the lawyers said to me which i really want to underscore here, while she didn't think this was a large conspiracy by the government to have these procedures on these women, it is emblematic of systematic lack of oversight for medical care and also just w

ms. wooten spoke to our own jacob soboroff.what she has to say here, in addition to this story itself, is disturbing. >> you're quoted in the complaint as saying, that's his specialty. he's the uterus collector. is that how people refer to this doctor >> that's how the detainees referred to this physician they referred to him as -- i had a detainee asked me, and she said, well, what is he doing, ms. wooten collecting all of our uteruses and i just looked at her puzzled because i didn't have an answer. >> the private company that runs the detention facility released a statement that reads in part -- and we quote -- lasalle corrections has a strict zero tolerance policy for any kind of inappropriate behavior in our facilities and takes all allegations of such mistreatment seriously. our company strongly refutes these allegations and any implications of misconduct at the icdc, the detention facility in a statement, immigration and customs enforcement, i.c.e., says the accusations will be fully investigated that's a quote they deny

ms. wooten, i had a hysterectomies why?o answers as to why they had those procedures one lady walked up to me here this last time around between october of 19 until july the 2nd and she said, what is he is he the uterus collector >> yesterday we brought you an interview with a nurse, a whistleblower that worked at an ice facility run by a private company. she says she heard from women at that facility that they were subjected to unnecessary hysterectomies at the hands of a local ob gyn that story went viral because not only is it horrifying but because of the historical ramifications of any coerced sterilization of an imprisoned immigrant population crucially, though, the complaint that dawn wooten filed, and she filed it with the ig for the dhs. she filed it did not have any first person testimony. she talked about talking to women. so for the last couple of days, we hear at "all in" have been trying to run down this story to find out what exactly are the facts. so tonight we are report there are three women that say they

ms. wooten, i had a hysterectomy why?se procedures and one lady walked up to me here this last time around between october of 19 until july the 2nd, and she said, what is he is he the uterus collector does he collect uteruses >> joining us now is a democrat from california. congresswoman, you are calling for an investigation on this what else needs to be done >> well, lawrence, a lot needs to be done the hispanic caucus is actually making a trip out there to provide a visit as well. but what was happening to these women is heart-breaking. it's wrong it's a crime so besides calling for an investigation, we need to look and see whether criminal charges should be filed against the doctors and the enablers who did something, if they did it wrong. again, we have to get to the bottom of this second, i think we need to end the practice of having for profit private contractors to run these i.c.e. facilities. we had a hearing just in july on this very issue and the inspector general did a report about medical care in response to c

ms. dawn wooten and her courage and a coming out about all of this in the documentation and the complainte were able to release, that has reallyly opened ththe d dooa lot of lawyers coming forward, a lot of immigrants coming forward -- you know, we are in n touch with lawyers trying to track down women all over the world who have been at the facility anand have suffefered some typef violation to their b body. it is truly egregious that immigrgrant women n at a truly vulnerable situationon at this facility come at the mercy of ice and the lasalle corporation, were treated in this fashion. what we do know is there were hysterectotomies, other procedus that were done on women without their cononsent. i i would likeke to addressss 's reresponse in terms of the numbr of hysterectomies. first of all what they said is they know of only two people being referred for hysterectomimies. part of what we're sayg is that based on what we e know abt what is h happening and what ths doctor was doing, people may have been referred for something as paulineorr issue binam, she went in for a minor isissue an
