ICE is arresting a record number of pregnant women and teenagers – placing them in detention centers where they say it can be exceedingly difficult to access medical care. At the same time, the agency appears to have lost count of how many suffered a miscarriage.
Government documents obtained by the Guardian show that the Trump administration placed more pregnant immigrants in detention last fall and winter than at any time over the previous year.
ICE recorded 18 miscarriages during the first nine months of the Trump administration, the documents show, but the agency has no data on miscarriages after 3 October 2025.
Meanwhile, detained pregnant women report that they are struggling to access routine and emergency medical care. In interviews with the Guardian and in testimonies shared by their attorneys, women who miscarried or were hospitalized for pregnancy complications said they did not receive follow-up care, despite experiencing ongoing pain and symptoms.
Good to see how much the maga admin actually cares about unborn babies.
Certainly not as much as they care about treating women like cattle.
Exactly. It’s never been about babies, not directly. It’s always been about control, and most importantly, control of legacy. Which is why stepping away from the role of mother enrages so many of them. Can’t have legacy without a mom, can’t control legacy without traditionalism in the mix.
They’re the same picture
That’s a wee bit genocidal
