RELEASE DIABETIC AT RISK

USA UA 84.25

In May 2024, Timofei Kocheshkov, a Russian man seeking safety, was detained while entering the USA with a CBP One appointment. He is currently being held at Folkston Detention Center in Georgia state. Timofei lives with Type 1 Diabetes and is dependent on receiving insulin three times a day and ongoing medical care. Despite numerous requests for medication, medical records from Russia, and his deteriorating health, Timofei has been deprived of proper medical care. We demand Timofei’s immediate release from detention to ensure he receives adequate healthcare to prevent him from continued decline and possible death.

Dear Acting Field Office Director Kristen Sullivan,

On May 12, 2024, Timofei Kocheshkov (A#: 249-137-576), a Russian citizen seeking political asylum in the U.S., was detained despite arriving to the border with a CBP One appointment. He was sent to Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, California. In the fall of 2024, Timofei was transferred to Folkston Detention Center in Folkston, Georgia.

Timofei was diagnosed with Diabetes at five years old. Since his transfer to Folkston, Timofei has not received adequate glucose monitoring, insulin, or food which have dramatically impacted his health.

Timofei is now experiencing complications that require urgent and consistent medical care that he can only adequately receive outside of detention. Without proper care Timofei is at risk of serious medical complications resulting from his underlying chronic illness, including amputation of limbs, falling into a coma, and death.

The dangerous and inadequate conditions at Folkston Detention Center have been well documented by numerous organizations that detail the substandard medical care, unsanitary conditions, abuse, and mistreatment that has led to preventable deaths in custody.

Timofei is in urgent need of medical care, and his condition is worsening every day. I implore you to use your prosecutorial discretion to immediately and unconditionally release Timofei so that he can access the urgent medical care he desperately needs.

Sincerely,
