Leidybeth Santos, a 22 -year -old Venezuelan, a native of Coloncito, Panamerican municipality, Táchira state, adds more than three months in the ICE detention center in Stewart, Georgia, USA, without being completed its voluntary deportation order, requested since June 24. The young woman would have crossed the dangerous jungle of Darién to be able to reach the North American country, where she has remained for more than two years.
Relatives of Leidybeth express great concern about the severe deterioration of their mental health, which includes a depression picture, to the point of stopping and sleeping. In an interview with an Atlanta channel, the Coloncito girl confirms that she adds three months and one week, more than a hundred days, arrested in a center of ICE, despite stating wanting to return to her homeland, in Venezuela.
“I’ve been three months old for three months, and they gave me deportation order. I tell you that I want to leave, but I’m still here, nothing that takes me out. I just want to leave now,” Leidybeth said recently.
In the interview, an expert explained that the prolongation of detention in these conditions represents a significant risk for their emotional well -being: “Being detained for a long time is associated with an increase in depression, anxiety, and increases suicidal ideation and self -injuries.”
His partner also denounced punishments by the institution, such as the cancellation of commissary services and the prohibition of telephone use. “When he talks to me, when he talks to his mother, he tells us that the depression, that there are days that he does not eat, that he has gone down a lot of weight, he passes her crying. They punish them, they do not let her use a phone, even her because she is awake, the commissioner was taken away from her, which is where she buys food,” said her partner, named Cristian.
