"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."
