> Gabar Choli describes months in immigration detention during which he says he was shackled, pinned down and forcibly fed. In June 2025, he was held in a solitary medical cell at the Port Isabel service processing center in south Texas. The facility is operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and holds immigrants arrested during Donald Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown. Choli says the ordeal left lasting physical and emotional scars, including an injury to his nose caused by the feeding tube.
