His Story

This section documents the experience of our father, Asif Amin Cheema, whose detention and deportation revealed serious failures in medical continuity, transparency, and oversight.

• Detained and transferred multiple times across state lines
• Each transfer disrupted prescribed medical treatment
• Inconsistent access to appropriate food and medications
• Emergency hospitalization while in custody
• Returned to detention without a clear explanation of diagnosis or treatment
• Medications administered without transparency or documentation provided to the family
• Family was repeatedly denied clear medical records or explanations

What happened to our family is not an isolated incident. This was not the result of a single error. It reflects a system in which responsibility is fragmented, oversight is weak, and families are excluded from information that directly affects health and safety.
