what IJ Yarbrough wanted to know

Former Immigration Judge Yarbrough asked these questions:
"On the day you were injured, tell me as many things as you can remember: the weather, the time of day, what you were wearing, what you saw, what you heard, what you felt, what you smelled. Tell me what thoughts went through your mind.

Ms. Segura was raped by six men. After she told what the first three men did, the Judge asked her what else was going on hearby. Segura's answer: "the mangoes were ripening. I could see them hanging large and full above my hear, and I could smell their sweetness in the air. It is something you do not have here in New York. I miss it so much."

Mr. Monzon was in prison for five days. The judge asked him what he saw during the day. He said, "I saw rats, mosquitoes, and a snake. I saw sick and dying prisoners lying down near me. Two of them were dead. Their bodies smelled bad in the heat."
What did you see, hear, and smell at night? "I could see almost nothing. I heard moans from other prisoners. A man far away, not in my cell, was screaming. I thought maybe the guards were hitting him. I smelled urine and feces."
