Keep Garfield Green Home
Since arriving the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility for nearly two years, the 48-year-old Jamaican amputee has experienced severe medical neglect and inadequate care resulting in painful sores, a worsening heart condition, and depression, according to family members and an advocacy group fighting his imminent deportation. Already missing his right leg for most of his life, Green is at risk of losing his other leg from blood clots, and he is not getting a proper diet for his diabetes, they allege. "It is really tough," his wife, Shamaya Green, tells Miami New Times.
On July 13, 2023, Garfield Green finally got released from the Krome Detention Center and reunited with his family in New York City.
