Lawyers plead for life-saving care for man in Tacoma immigrant detention center
Attorneys for a former Armenian refugee held in the federal immigrant detention center in Tacoma say he has been unable to get medical treatment for months, leaving his family worried he could soon die.
Oganes Doganyan’s lawyers have petitioned a federal judge for his release from the Northwest ICE Processing Center so he could get treatment for a rare disorder that has caused excessive bleeding.
This is the latest in a monthslong effort to get care for Doganyan, 52.

Allegations about lack of access to medical care have been rampant in the private detention center for years. And the center’s critics have worried about worsening conditions as the Trump administration ramps up deportations nationwide.
