Rep. Yassamin Ansari says ICE delayed releasing detainee medical records


During her first State of the District address in Phoenix, Rep. Yassamin Ansari said she waited two hours before a caseworker agreed to release some of Arbella “Yari” Rodríguez Márquez’s medical records.

Yari, a legal permanent resident who suffers from leukemia, is not receiving proper medical care while in ICE detention.
