Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hysterectomy doctor, Dr. Mahendra Amin, is not certified by the American Board Obstetrics as and Gynecology (ABOG), according to a report.

The ICE physician is being accused of performing unwanted and unnecessary gynecological procedures at an immigration detention center.

Many immigration advocacy groups representatives and whistleblower filed a complaint to the Office of the Inspector General on Monday. Cited in the complaint is disturbing medical neglect and occurrences of unwanted and unnecessary hysterectomies at the Irwin County Detention Center.

Dawn Wooten, a licensed practical nurse who was previously employed by the center and is represented by Project South and Government Accountability Project, reported seeing a number of hysterectomies performed on immigrant women.

Wooten described Amin as the "uterus collector" and said that the doctor performed hysterectomies on every detained immigrant woman he saw inside the facility.

Wooten added that she believed that the women did not totally understand what was happening to them during the procedures.

ICE did not respond to previous requests for comments. However, Wooten's allegations have been denied by the attorney of the ICE doctor.

"Dr. Amin is a highly respected physician who has dedicated his adult life to treating a high-risk, underserved population in rural Georgia," Atty. Scott Grubman said in a report.

Grubman noted that they look forward to all of the facts coming, and they are confident that Amin will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

"Dr. Amin will be cleared of any wrongdoing," Grubman said.

Not a Board-Certified OB-GYN

An ABOG spokesperson said that its record found that the organization does not certify Amin as an OB-GYN. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) also confirmed in a report that Amin was not certified by any of its 24 member boards.

Susan Morris, Associate Vice President on Communications at ABMS, said that Amin is not one of their doctors and is not certified by any of their boards.

Unlike state licensure, board certification is not required. However, many physicians often pursue certification to expand their skillset. It also establishes credibility with patients.

The organization's website said that ABOG-certified doctors must pass a qualifying written exam to show "the special knowledge and skills" required for women's medical and surgical care.

ABOG-certified doctors also need to pass a certifying oral exam that reviews physicians' past cases and tests their ability to treat different conditions.

Reports said that Amin had maintained an active license with the Georgia Composite Medical Board. The ICE doctor has also practiced in Douglas, Georgia for at least 20 years. He has served as a medical director for the labor and delivery department at Irwin County Hospital.

Previous court records showed that Amin had settled lawsuits with at least two former patients or patients' families. One case accused Amin of discharging a pregnant patient when her test results showed "life-threatening abnormal lab values."

The patient received an emergency cesarean section after returning to the hospital with contractions, bleeding, and high blood pressure. The said patient died after.

Amin denied any knowledge of the "abnormal" lab values based on the court information.
