This also happened to Alma Bowman, a disabled woman who spent nearly three years in ICE custody during first Trump term

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
