Reported: ICE Detaining Pregnant, Postpartum, and Nursing Immigrants in Violation of Agency Guidance

  1. Original Date Announced

    October 20, 2025

    19th News reports that the Trump administration has been detaining pregnant, postpartum, and nursing immigrants, which violates federal rules. "A Biden-era policy," which President Trump has not rescinded, "restricts ICE from arresting or detaining immigrants who are pregnant, postpartum or nursing, except in extreme circumstances." The exact number of detained individuals is unknown as Congress allowed a requirement of bi-yearly reports of the count and justification for any such detentions to lapse in March 2025.
