ACTION ALERT: Today, Georgia Equality joined partners in demanding the release of Pauline Binam.

Pauline Binam is a 36-year-old Black migrant, survivor of domestic violence, and single mother who has lived in the U.S. for over 34 years. She’s been detained at Stewart Detention Center for nearly 6 months. Years ago, Pauline was detained at Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, where she became one of the women subjected to medically unnecessary procedures performed by a physician contracted by ICE. Pauline had part of her fallopian tube removed without her consent. She courageously spoke out about what happened and provided testimony to federal agencies investigating abuses inside the detention center. After her release, Pauline survived years of severe physical, sexual, and emotional abuse in an intimate partner relationship. She ultimately secured a protective order against her abuser and obtained a U Visa Certification, recognizing her eligibility to apply for immigration relief as a survivor of violent crime. Today, despite surviving detention abuse, medical violations, and domestic violence, Pauline is once again facing the threat of detention and deportation. 📞 Take action: Call the Atlanta ICE Field Office today @icegov Call script available at: bit.ly/freepaulinetoolkit ➡ Sign the petition to #FreePauline at: bit.ly/paulinepetition #FreePaulineBinam #StopTheDeportation #BlackMigrantsMatter
