Detained Without Hearing Violates Rights

Diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder before arrest, she received inadequate mental health care at Vermont’s Chittenden facility — despite medical records being provided by her lawyers. Prison staff downplayed her symptoms, while clinicians and corrections officers noted clear signs of schizophrenia. The judge prioritized her prolonged detention over treatment details, ordering her release to Massachusetts with support arranged — exposing systemic failures where mental health and immigration intersect.
