Advocates want #MeToo debate
to include immigrant detention

HOUSTON — While
she waits at a detention cen-
ter in Texas to find out if she
can stay in the United States,
Laura Monterrosa fears that
she put herself in danger by
coming forward about sexual
abuse.
Months after accusing a
female guard at the facility
of groping her and suggest-
ing they have sex, Monterrosa
says she still sees the guard in
the dining hall and other parts
of the facility. She recalled in
a recent interview what the
guard had said to her.
“I told her that I was going
to tell the supervisor what was
happening,” Monterrosa said
in a recent phone interview
from the facility. “She sar-
castically said, ‘Do you think
they’ll believe you or me?’”
As the national discussion
of sexual misconduct grows,
advocates for immigrants say
they hope the conversation
will include immigrant deten-
tion facilities. They point
to the FBI announcing in
December that it had opened
a civil rights investigation into
Monterrosa’s case as a posi-
tive sign.
“Our immigrant prison
system thrives on secrecy,”
said Christina Fialho, co-ex-

ecutive director of Commu-
nity Initiatives for Visiting
Immigrants in Confinement,
or CIVIC. “If more people
knew what was truly happen-
ing behind locked doors, I
think there would be an outcry
against the immigrant deten-
tion system.”
Fialho’s
organization
sent a complaint to the U.S.
Department of Homeland
Security in April that listed 27
allegations of sexual abuse in
immigration detention over
the last three years. The com-
plaint also says that another
1,016 people reported sex-
ual abuse in detention to the
Department of Homeland
Security between May 2014
and July 2016.
Fialho said many more
cases go uncounted because
victims are afraid to come for-
ward or, when they do, their
cases aren’t fully investigated.
Based on CIVIC’s anal-
ysis of federal data released
through a Freedom of Infor-
mation Act request, DHS
investigated less than 3 per-
cent of the sexual abuse com-
plaints it received during that
same time period.
Like many of the roughly
35,000 adults in immigration
detention, Monterrosa, 23, has
requested asylum. She arrived
at the southern U.S. border in
May after fleeing El Salvador,
where she says she was forced
into prostitution by her fam-
ily and that an uncle raped her.
The uncle was a policeman,
she said.
If her asylum claim is
denied, she could be deported.
She is currently appealing a
denial of her claim in October.
The Associated Press typi-
cally does not name victims in
sexual assault investigations,
but Monterrosa has come
forward to encourage other
women to report their stories.

The Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife is seek-
ing public comment on a newly
updated management plan for
the Jewell Meadows Wildlife
Area.
The plan was last updated
in 2007. No major changes are
proposed, said Bryan Swear-
ingen, wildlife area manager,
though there are some changes
to management strategies
based on completed projects.
Wildlife area staff will host
an open house to answer ques-
tions about the plan on Jan. 17
from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Jewell
School Library.
The wildlife area —
1,114 acres owned and
managed by the state — is
located near U.S. Highway 26
and State Highway 202. It is
home to Roosevelt elk, black-
tailed deer, beaver, over 100
bird species, and many other
species of animals, plants and
trees.
