  • Y𝖾s, including in the Unit𝖾d Stat𝖾s.  Quick s𝖾arch𝖾s pull up many r𝖾sults, both on indig𝖾nous p𝖾opl𝖾s and on many oth𝖾rs including migrants in ICE d𝖾t𝖾ntion.


    Example 1 - Indigenous Peoples  Here’s a link that claims “From 1907 until as recently as 2018, tens of thousands of Native women underwent tubal ligation”:  [Link](https://nativenewsonline.net/health/stolen-generations-new-mexico-takes-historic-step-to-address-forced-sterilization-of-native-american-women/)


    Example 2 - Migrants Here’s a summary link of prior/current cases.   “On September 14, 2020, nurse Dawn Wooten filed a whistleblower complaint . . . Wooten said that nearly every [detained migrant] woman who went to see a doctor was told she had to undergo a hysterectomy.”:  [Link](https://www.niwrc.org/restoration-magazine/november-2020/past-and-current-united-states-policies-forced-sterilization)


    More summaries with sources cited.  Some were court & judge approved coercion.   “As recently as May 2017, Tennessee Judge Sam Benningfield signed an order that offered misdemeanor offenders 30-day sentence reductions if they underwent either a vasectomy or a birth control implant [16].” “Between 2005 and 2013, 144 women were coerced into sterilization in California [19].” [Link](https://www.texasulj.org/post/three-generations-of-imbeciles-past-and-present-coercive-sterilization-in-the-u-s)
