A Sikh man with a tumor held by US immigration has been denied medical care, according to his family. The family of Jagtar Singh, a 74-year-old man from India, claims that he has been held in custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since January. Singh, who is currently detained at the Krome Detention Center in Miami, Florida, was reportedly diagnosed with a tumor in his left kidney in May.
Singh’s family alleges that ICE has denied him proper medical treatment for his condition, despite recommendations from medical professionals for immediate surgery. They argue that Singh’s health is deteriorating, and he is at risk of permanent damage if he does not receive prompt medical intervention.
On the other hand, ICE has not publicly commented on Singh’s specific case but mentioned that the agency provides comprehensive medical care to those in its custody. They assert that decisions regarding medical treatment are made by qualified medical professionals following established guidelines.
Singh’s family, along with a local Sikh advocacy group, has been advocating for his release to seek appropriate medical attention outside of detention. They argue that detaining a vulnerable individual with serious health issues goes against basic human rights and humanitarian values.
The case highlights the complex intersection of immigration enforcement and healthcare, raising questions about the treatment of individuals with medical needs in detention facilities.
