Jack, these are the types of advocacy actions that can save lives
<[link removed]>
. We hope you’ll take a second:



Andrea Pedro-Francisco should have had emergency surgery weeks ago. Instead,
she is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas,
in constant and worsening pain.



Andrea is a 23-year-old asylum seeker from Guatemala. Before her detention,
doctors scheduled surgery to remove a large ovarian cyst. But she was detained
just days before the procedure as part of ICE’s “Operation Metro Surge” in
Minneapolis, and she has been denied the care she urgently needs.



She is experiencing severe abdominal and lower back pain, along with other
serious symptoms. A doctor confirmed she needs surgery or her condition will
worsen, but it has still not happened.Without it, she risks serious
complications, including infertility or death.



No one should suffer like this. Will you take action today to call for
Andrea’s release and urgent medical care?

Andrea went to the U.S. seeking safety. But now, she’s being held at a
facility where people face serious barriers to healthcare:the El Paso Service
Processing Center is a particularly cruel ICE detention center Amnesty
International recently visited, where our researchers documented inhumane and
unsanitary conditions, medical neglect, abuse, and other mistreatment.



Denying her urgent medical care puts her life at even greater risk.



Since January, at least 17 people have died in ICE custody. We must get Andrea
out of ICE detention and get her the medical care she needs.



Add your name and call the El Paso ICE Field Office Director today — it only
takes a minute and it could save Andrea’s life.
