Suicidal Guatemalan Teen Is Denied Release Amid COVID As No Right To Psychoanalysis

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 22 – Diego Dilan Rodiguez Ordonez is under 20 years old, in custody with suicidal ideation and on April 22, 2020 he was ordered continued to be detained amid Coronavirus. There is no right to psycho-analysis. 

 In a proceeding before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, which Inner City Press covered, his lawyer said, They put him on suicide watch. He has a history of self-harm. But they are taking a reactive-only approach.     Questions arose about the authorities' duties to provide care.

   Judge Hellerstein returned from a break and ruled: I find that there has been no deliberate indifference, and that there is no (Constitutional) right to individualized treatment; 219 F.Supp. 3d 1100 does not say what it was presented for.

    The petitioner's lawyer apologized for citing the wrong case, the intent had been Braggs v. Dunn, 257 F.Supp. 3d 1171. Judge Hellerstein said it did not change his decision, and allowed some sealing of the record.

The case is Rodriguez Ordonez v. Wolf et al., 20-cv-1727 (Hellerstein).
