The Trump administration is ending a policy that exempted pregnant women from immigration detention, according to internal documents reviewed by The Hill.
Under the new policy, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers will treat pregnant detainees as they would any other, save for providing the necessary medical care and keeping a record of pregnant women in custody.
The change was set in place by an internal directive issued in December by ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan, entitled “Identification and Monitoring of Pregnant Detainees.” (https://www.scribd.com/document/375107320/ICE-Directive-11032-3-Identification-and-Monitoriing-of-Pregnant-Detainees)
