US Halts Detention of Pregnant Undocumented Immigrants

US Halts Detention of Pregnant Undocumented Immigrants Voice of America 10 Jul 2021, 06:05 GMT+10 The Biden administration announced Friday that it would mostly avoid detaining undocumented immigrants who were pregnant, nursing or in postpartum. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released a statement Friday saying the policy recognized the time needed for infant development and parental bonding. It reversed a 2017 Trump-era rule that allowed officials to detain immigrants in those specific situations. Acting ICE Director Tae D. Johnson said in a statement that pregnant women and those who just gave birth have unique needs and ICE would not detain them unless release is prohibited by law or exceptional circumstances exist.
