1/ Shocking new testimonies reveal systematic torture-like abuse at Georgia ICE facility on Korean workers: pregnant woman fearing for unborn child, handcuff burns, forced medical injections without consent, and staff neglecting workers having seizures and medical collapses.

2/ Yonhap News TV obtained exclusive photos showing a Korean worker's wrist from the Georgia detention facility. The images reveal clear red burn marks caused by handcuffs/cable ties. Worker testified that "quite a few people" suffered similar injuries. https://www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr...

3/ Testimonies also reveal forced medical procedures. One worker claims that during health checks before formal facility admission, despite refusing all tests, facility staff forcibly administered a tuberculosis injection against their will.

4/ "After receiving the jab, my skin swelled up and I was very anxious." Another said: "I remember a friend among us whose arm swelled up after getting injected. He said he didn't know what it was and got the shot. He said they stabbed him with a needle in upper left wrist area."

5/ Medical emergencies were allegedly ignored by facility staff. A worker collapsed due to worsening chronic sleep disorders, with symptoms deteriorating during detention, eventually leading to serious breathing difficulties. Staff apparently just watched, did nothing.

6/ Meanwhile, MBC revealed that a pregnant Korean engineer was among those detained in what she describes as torture-like conditions. She was working on computer tasks in the factory office when ICE agents forcibly took her away without explanation.

7/ The pregnant engineer held a legal B1 visa specifically for battery equipment installation work. She was scheduled to return to Korea this very week after completing her assigned work at the facility. https://imnews.imbc.com/replay...

8/ She was arrested on charges of illegal residence and held in the detention facility in a red prison uniform. She testified: "I appealed that my visa was still valid, but they didn't even pretend to listen."

9/ Detention conditions were horrific: over 30 people were crammed into a single room with just 3 sinks and 4 toilets in an open area. Privacy was non-existent, creating degrading conditions for female detainees "who were menstruating".

10/ When she informed guards she was pregnant, they only responded that she *would be* moved to "a room with slightly better conditions". She witnessed another female detainee having seizures and being neglected, fearing for her own unborn child should a medical emergency happen.

11/ "I really thought they were going to kill someone, and I was terrified," she said. "I was so shocked that I wasn't having morning sickness anymore and worried something had happened to my baby."

12/ Food was apparently completely inedible. "Even the bread smelled bad and sour," she said. "I couldn't eat it."

13/ Only after returning to South Korea and getting checked at a hospital could she finally breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that her baby was healthy. She says she has nightmares every night now, and "really wants to sue... in the country of lawsuits".

14/ South Korea's foreign ministry has announced it will investigate these abuse cases and will raise issues with the US if necessary. The mounting physical evidence and testimonies paint a picture of systematic human rights violations at the ICE facility. https://x.com/koryodynasty/sta...

@koryodynasty Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

@koryodynasty Your thread is going viral! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... 🙏🏼@kingz254 for 🥇unroll

@koryodynasty "civilization" has always been just a thin veneer over our capacity for cruelty

@koryodynasty But they ALL(every LAST ONE) voted Republican last November

@koryodynasty Honestly listening to these reports i feel bad but..... what is SK actually going to do lol? They're at the end of the day a vassal state and the US will just tug the shit out their leash the moment they actually try to take any action

@koryodynasty @grok from these testimonies... Do you think the treatment aligns with US law, and what effect do you think it might have on foreign investment into the US?

@koryodynasty @NicoleShanahan What injections would be given without consent?

@koryodynasty light treatment in the US for-profit torture camps

@koryodynasty Wow. The kind of comments you see here, show how fucked up the US are. Hello 21st century USSR!!! 🤣

@koryodynasty Torture? That's just handcuffs.

@koryodynasty It's bad when they do that to anyone

@koryodynasty Can you cite a reputable media source which verifies or reports the claim regarding forced injections?

@koryodynasty @MollyJongFast Well do something about this then instead of posting on X

@koryodynasty This is going to go over so badly in South Korea. All South Koreans will take shit like this personally. It's an insult & it's not going to blow over.

@koryodynasty @woodeye2u S. Korea will NEVER finish that project here. Georgia fvcked them, they will fvck Georgia.

@koryodynasty Horrible 😢

@koryodynasty The Trump Administration is flooding so many outrages every week, trusting that the slow discovery of the extent of any individual outrage will be drowned in the newest. This outrage was ~2 weeks ago; it seems like forever.

@koryodynasty They (and anyone doing such jobs) be fools to come back.

@koryodynasty The more information is revealed the worst it gets , Koreans would be crazy if they don’t cancel any investment n the US , these workers should suit the American government

@koryodynasty Tramp is the best at burning bridges with foreign allies (although who knows how much longer they will bother remaining as US allies)

@koryodynasty Whoa... I don't think many people in America know about this.

@koryodynasty I'm thinking class-action lawsuit for billions and billions

@koryodynasty Holy moley, how the hell does this keep getting worse?! I'm going to assume that this treatment is standard across the board. I hope that everyone who can sue does so and I hope that they win. This is an absolute disgrace.
