Under Obama, ICE generally released pregnant immigrants
ABIGAIL ABRAMS
March 30th, 2018
Immigration and Customs Enforcement will no longer automatically release pregnant immigrants from detention, marking the latest effect of President Donald Trumps efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
The new policy was outlined in an internal ICE memo, and reported Thursday by The Daily Beast. It replaces a previous policy, put in place under former President Barack Obama, which said ICE would not detain pregnant women except in extraordinary circumstances.
But after Trump issued an executive order in January 2017 that required immigration officers to target all undocumented immigrants, the agency decided to change the way it dealt with pregnant women.
