SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A California woman is claiming officials with the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) treated her like an animal.Amanda Sams said Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials failed to provide the medical care required to treat her serious medical needs while she was in their custody.In a lawsuit filed against the government, Sams and her civil attorneys claim, "This practice of DHS agents forcing arrestees and pretrial detainees to detox and withdraw from high amounts of alcohol and/or opiates in holding cells near the border, has happened with alarming frequency. Indeed, Ms. Sams is believed to be one of dozens of other individuals forced to endure these conditions in recent months."Sams Arrest and DetentionSams was arrested in January for charges related to bringing an undocumented immigrant in the United States illegally.According to court documents filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Customs and Border Protection officers found a person in a hidden compartment in the vehicle Sams was driving.Court records show after Sams was arrested, she told officers that she is an alcoholic and uses drugs.RELATED: Allegations people in the government's custody enduring unsafe conditionsAccording to her lawsuit, after spending the night in a holding cell at the border, Sams was transported to the Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC) in downtown San Diego. The lawsuit says officials at MCC rejected her due to her unstable medical condition.Her lawsuit alleges, "Rather than taking Ms. Sams to a hospital, as recommended by MCC officials and as (presumably) required by DHS policies and procedures, the CBP Defendants returned Ms. Sams to a DHS holding facility at or near the San Ysidro Port of Entry."Team 10 obtained four days of surveillance video from Sams' cell, an experience she described as one of the worst times of her life."When I first walked in, you could smell urine, and you could hear kids crying," Sams said. "You could hear people screaming. There was garbage in the corner."The video obtained by Team 10 shows her eating, sleeping, pacing, hyperventilating and vomiting."No human being should be treated like that," Sams said. "Like they are nothing. Like they are a nobody."Sams told 10News she was given only a solar blanket and a thin mat to sleep on.RELATED: Call for SD jail reform after former inmate's cheek was bitten by mentally ill inmateShe said she began to experience symptoms of withdrawal while in the cell."I was sick to my stomach," Sams recalled. "I had cold chills, then I'd get hot. I'd get cold. I'd have these sweats."Team 10 Investigator Adam Racusin asked Sams if she remembered the medical staff at the facility ever checking her vital signs."Nothing," Sams said.According to court documents: "For five days, she languished in a holding cell at the port of entry while enduring severe symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and detox without access to medical care. She was forced to sleep on the concrete floor of a cell for four nights with only a solar blanket to keep her warm from the cold. She was not allowed to change her clothing and denied access to basic hygiene, including a shower, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a water cup, or feminine hygiene products. She was never allowed to make a call or speak with legal counsel."RELATED: SD whistleblower reveals threat of gun reporting 'loophole' for mentally ill service membersSams attorney Trenton Lamere said the government breached its duty of care when they failed to provide minimally necessary services."Really minimum levels of care here that we would expect from a civilized society," Lamere said.According to Sams' lawsuit, "California law imposes a duty of care on law enforcement and custodial officers to protect the health and safety of pretrial detainees, which includes a duty to ensure pretrial detainees' serious medical risks and needs are properly evaluated and treated. Despite the objectively serious nature of the medical risks and needs Plaintiff was facing, and the CBP Defendants' subjective awareness of the same, the CBP Defendants breached their duty to protect Plaintiff's health and safety, by failing to provide the medical care required to evaluate and treat Plaintiffs' serious medical risks and needs while Plaintiff was in the custody, and under the supervision, of the government."Sams said she saw a judge five days after she was arrested.RELATED: Petition: DOD standards don’t translate into state mental health evaluation, treatment laws"When I asked for help, I really needed somebody's help," she said. "I feel that no one should have to feel that alone or go through something like that alone ever in their life."Sams' criminal attorney tried to get the case against her thrown out based on what she called outrageous conduct by the government. The judge in her criminal case did not agree.Sams' trial is scheduled for April 2020.Government ResponseA spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection said the agency can't comment on pending litigation.The U.S. Attorney's Office also didn’t comment on Sams' criminal case.However, in court documents, the government claims Sams indicated to her interrogators that she was not intoxicated and that she was not using drugs.Court documents say "The San Ysidro Port of Entry is not a hospital with doctors like API (Alvarado Parkway Institute). However, physicians assistants work at the San Ysidro Port of Entry for approximately 16-20 hours a day. The physician's assistants can render medical aid to detainees as necessary. There are also CBP Officers trained as Emergency Medical Responders and Emergency Medical Technicians who are able to provide medical attention while on duty at the port of entry."RELATED: Innovative open jail design changes San Diego inmate experienceThe government stated that records from Sams' detention at the San Ysidro Port of Entry show that officers conducted dozens of welfare checks, and at no point did CBP ever make the determination that she was in a state of medical emergency.They also claimed Sams indicated to a Customs and Border Protection Supervisory Officer that she wanted to go to Court and did not need medical attention.Team 10 investigator Adam Racusin asked Sams why at certain points she told officers she was not detoxing."So they'd take me out of there," she explained. "They'd take me to jail take me to another facility. I just wanted help."Other people going through withdrawalSams is not the only one making allegations of mistreatment in a border holding cell.Earlier this month 10News spoke to Jesus Centeno-Paredes from behind the walls of a detention facility just outside of San Diego.Centeno said he was arrested at the border then held for nearly three days in a potentially dangerous medical state. According to court documents, "Mr. Centeno was kept in a small cell where the lights were on the entire time. Mr. Centeno was not given a change of clothes during the nearly three days while he was at the Port of Entry. The cell where Mr. Centeno was held did not have a bed, and Mr. Centeno was given a thin foil blanket and a torn yoga mat to lie on. There was no soap, no toothbrush, and no hygiene products."Documents obtained by Team 10 allege others have gone through detox at the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry.Team 10 obtained what's known as the "No Body Active List" or "Federal Defender No Body Report."A No Body Active List from March of this year shows two additional people involuntarily detoxing from heroin were kept at the San Ysidro Port. Team 10 investigator Adam Racusin has also seen other No Body Active Lists from different dates showing other people marked as detoxing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.Team 10 tried to get all No Body Active Lists from the start of this year, but so far, the U.S. Attorney's Office has not turned them over and said they aren't public documents. 7908

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A discrimination lawsuit filed by a former high-ranking employee against UC San Diego has reached a settlement agreement.Jean Ford served as the Associate Vice Chancellor for UC San Diego Health Sciences Advancement. In June 2019, she sued the UC Regents and Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, alleging age and gender discrimination, as well as wrongful termination.Team 10 first reported the lawsuit in June 2019.Ford came to San Diego in 2015 after a decade at Columbia University Medical Center, according to a biography previously on the UC San Diego website.The lawsuit alleged that she was subjected to discrimination and harassment by Chancellor Kholsa because she was a woman over the age of 40, then retaliated against for complaining about illegal conduct. The complaint alleged that Kholsa promoted a younger and less experienced man to supervise Ford.“My client has been a successful fundraiser for 25 years,” said attorney Kristina Larsen last year. “She was recruited to UCSD… and UCSD Health had their most successful fundraising year of almost 0 million under Ms. Ford’s leadership.”The UC Regents recently approved the settlement agreement, although the terms were not disclosed.In a statement, Larsen told Team 10:“Former UCSD Assistant Vice Chancellor Jean Ford, The Regents of the University of California, and UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla have amicably resolved the claims between the parties, with none of the three admitting any wrongdoing. As UCSD faces unprecedented operational challenges as a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and mandated court closures further compound litigation delays, each party agreed that an expedient resolution would be in the best interest of all involved during these extraordinary times.”Team 10 reached out to officials at UC San Diego, but have yet to hear back. 1852

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A former Yuma Police officer charged with raping a woman in San Diego is coming face to face with his accuser’s mother. Jared Elkins didn’t flinch in court Tuesday as his wife’s cousin accused him of raping her over and over in her Kensington home. The woman says she didn’t yell because the former officer threatened to kill her. After the rape, the victim said in court that she ran into her mother’s room and escaped out a window. Her mother’s 911 call played in court Tuesday. Elkins’ wife was asleep across the hall. Police body cam footage showed the accuser hysterical in the back of the police car. The woman can be heard telling the officer how afraid she was. Elkins argued that the sex was consensual and the rape charges were made out of guilt. Elkins pleaded not guilty. His attorney said he used bad judgement but the sex was consensual and the two were drinking.He’s facing nine felony counts including forcible rape and could serve 14 years in prison if convicted. Elkins resigned from the Yuma Police Department in 2017. 1066

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A deaf and legally blind man was promoted to the Marine Corps Recruitment Depot as a Prep Chef last week and is thrilled to be back to work. Kevin Tong was born deaf in Vietnam and moved with his family to San Diego when he was 13. He fell in love with cooking during an internship and started working in hotels, honing his skills in the kitchen.In his 20s another challenge hit, his vision started to go dark. "I started to see from what would be considered a tunnel and I went to the doctor because it was really alarming to me to work in food services and not have the vision I needed to cut safely," Tong said through interpreter Laila-Wendy Chouinard with the Helen Keller National Center.From 2016 until about two months ago, Tong didn't have a job. That's where the HKNC stepped in with training.They have six core areas of training, according to Susanne Hogan, Senior Orientation and Mobility Specialist, Helen Keller National Center. "We teach in orientation and mobility, which teaches travel in the community or the work environment. We teach assistive technology," which helps those with hearing or vision loss communicate says Hogan."They helped me not only as a deaf-blind person to find success but they taught me how to be independent by teaching me mobility skills, taught me employment skills," Tong said through sign language.He advocates for others in his shoes, "so for those who are deaf-blind or have vision loss, I tell them be flexible and learn to take on challenges." He said even if you can't do something, watch and absorb the information. He said if you don't give up you can achieve your dreams, like saving up to travel the world. "I want to learn more about other deaf cultures, other deaf-blind people who live abroad, I want to see what they do and how they live," Tong says.Tong is one of about half of the staff at the Mess Hall overcoming obstacles to try and lead a normal life, serving those who serve our country. He works for a company called Sodexo, and General Manager Kevin Hollingsworth said he's been very impressed with Kevin's ability and his drive to earn promotions.Tong worked for Camp Pendleton for two months before being promoted and transferring to MCRD. At MCRD he works off a recipe to feed 2,700 recruits three times a day, according to officials on base.A green cutting board helps him see what he's doing easier and he wears extra pairs of gloves to protect himself while working: "If I show any type of distraction it could cost me one of my fingers."October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the Helen Keller National Center hopes to raise awareness of their services and help those like Tong.The Mess Hall hasn't stopped running through the pandemic, keeping Marines and recruits full and ready for training. They are looking for more people to join their team during this time. 2889
