Lawsuit: ICE forcibly injecting detainees with psychotropic drugs
12 Oct 2007 Former prisoners of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
accuse the agency in a lawsuit of forcibly injecting them with
psychotropic drugs while trying to shuttle them out of the country
during their deportation. One of the drugs in question is the potent
anti-psychotic drug Haldol, which is often used to treat schizophrenia
or other mental illnesses. ACLU attorney Ahilan Arulanantham said,
"It would be torture to give a powerful anti-psychotic drug to
somebody who isn't even mentally ill. ... But here, it's happening
on U.S.

soil to an immigrant the government is trying to deport."
