TACOMA, Washington — The Immigration and Customs Enforcement official who oversees a detention center in the Pacific Northwest says immigrant advocates' claims that detainees are being mistreated and neglected while in custody do not match up with the types of services her staff provides.
Nathalie Asher, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations director for the Seattle field office, insisted those in custody at the Northwest ICE Processing Center, formerly known as the Northwest Detention Center, typically receive better care than they are accustomed to outside the U.S.
“They’re coming from areas of the world where frankly they’ve never had a medical exam in their lives. The first time that they will have ever seen a doctor or certainly had a head-to-toe medical evaluation is in our custody,” said Asher, who has overseen the privately operated center for six weeks, who opened it up last week for a rare tour for reporters.

Lots of working Americans don’t have health insurance because it’s too expensive,high deductibles and some drugs aren’t even covered.
You can bet they get better care than our Hero's. These flipping democrats are a FREAKING LOWLIFE disgrace. Thanks to our ANTI-AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM. We ALL had better wake up. I understand we are better than democrats. Have a better temperament. But sooner or later we will have to FIGHT. I remember living in Philadelphia in the late 60's. Blacks came into our neighborhood just to start something. Finally we had enough and started kicking ASS. Time for it again. Too bad SOCIETY is trying to make men into PU***ES.
