In this commentary, we reflect on Korngold and colleagues' comprehensive review of the legal challenges encountered by mentally ill immigrant detainees in the United States. Specifically, we further review the competency question as it relates to detainees, as well as recent developments in the legal system. We expand the discussion to general treatment and care of mentally ill detainees in United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. In addition, we provide an allegory to the juvenile justice system and discuss cultural considerations. We conclude by highlighting the significant implications changes in the immigration justice system may have for forensic examiners and competency evaluations.
在这篇评论中，我们思考了孔戈尔德及其同事对美国患有精神疾病的移民被拘留者所面临的法律挑战进行的全面综述。具体而言，我们进一步审视了与被拘留者相关的能力问题，以及法律体系中的最新进展。我们将讨论范围扩大到美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）设施中对患有精神疾病的被拘留者的一般治疗和护理。此外，我们提供了一个与少年司法系统相关的寓言，并讨论了文化方面的考量。我们通过强调移民司法系统的变化可能对法医检查人员和能力评估产生的重大影响来得出结论。
