9. I don't remember anything about the boys, but several migrant women had forced hysterectomies.

They were either forced to see doctors or were sick and asked to see a doctor. Some were then told they needed surgery, and they had unnecessary hysterectomies. This article is from 2020.

“On Tuesday evening, a harrowing report surfaced after a nurse in Georgia, Dawn Wooten, accused Immigrant and Customs Enforcement officials at the Irwin County Detention Center of denying detainees there essential health care and sending women to a doctor who allegedly performed unnecessary “mass hysterectomies.”

“I had several detained women on numerous occasions that would come to me and say: “Ms Wooten, I had a hysterectomy. Um, Why?’” Wooten told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “I had no answers as to why they had those procedures.”
