ICE at the time said the accusations would be investigated.The ministry said both consulates were seeking clarity from U.S. authorities and trying to identify any affected Mexicans.It said Mexico had activated consular protection mechanisms and that consular personnel had increased attention at the detention centers to ensure rights were respected, the ministry said.“The government of Mexico will promptly follow up through its various diplomatic and legal instruments to fully understand what happened,” the ministry said in a statement.ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The nurse’s allegations of improper medical procedures on detainees at the Irwin County Detention Center were filed on Monday to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General by advocacy groups Project South and the Government Accountability Project.Reuters interviewed Wooten but could not independently confirm the claims of improper hysterectomies, or surgery to remove the uterus.ICE on Monday denied the allegations.(Reporting by Frank Jack Daniel; Writing by Stefanie Eschenbacher; Editing by Michael Perry)Sean Hannity ShowSheboygan, WI, USA74 °F Sunny
