all over. https://lawblogs.uc.edu/ihrlr/2021/05/28/not-just-ice-forced-sterilization-in-the-united-states/ "On September 16, 2020, the vice chair of the House immigration subcommittee, Representative Pramila Jayapal, said that at a minimum seventeen or eighteen people held at the Irwin County Detention Center had undergone these invasive procedures without giving proper consent."
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/forced-sterilization-eugenics-scotus-state-laws/ "Some of these laws aren’t even that old. In 2019, Iowa and Nevada passed new forced sterilization laws that applied to people under guardianship. Both bills passed unanimously, and the end result is consistent with laws on the books in other states. There was no discourse among politicians—let alone objections—about the ethics of sterilizing disabled people without their consent."
