ICE Is Separating Families And Denying Urgent Care To Pregnant Deportees, Report Finds

A 22-year-old woman was five months pregnant when she arrived on a deportation flight to Honduras. She said she never had a chance to tell Immigration and Customs Enforcement about her two-year-old daughter she was forced to leave behind.

“They didn’t ask me anything,” she said, according to a new report from the Women’s Refugee Commission and Physicians for Human Rights. “They didn’t talk to me, only to yell at me, to humiliate.”

Immigration officers also never asked a 27-year-old woman arrested at a traffic light about her children, let alone whether she could bring her 11-year-old son with her when she was deported, she said.
