Pregnant US Citizen Hospitalized After ICE Detainment in LA
ICE agents arrested a pregnant U.S. citizen, Cary Lopez, while attempting to detain her undocumented husband, leading to Lopez’s hospitalization due to severe stomach pains. This incident follows a pattern of alleged mistreatment of pregnant U.S. citizens by ICE, including a previous case where agents shattered a car window to arrest a pregnant woman’s family. The recent repeal of protective rules for pregnant women in migrant detention further highlights concerns about the well-being of pregnant women within the immigration system. These actions, coupled with the deployment of military personnel to assist in ICE raids, underscore a broader pattern of aggressive enforcement tactics.
