Pregnant Woman Deported by ICE Despite Medical Risks

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has faced criticism after deporting a pregnant woman, Juana, from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley. Despite being close to her due date, she was deported without proper medical clearance. Congressman Joaquin Castro highlighted the unsanitary conditions and inadequate medical care at the facility, which led to Juana's stress-induced hair loss. After deportation, she was taken to Guatemala. This incident has raised concerns about ICE's treatment of pregnant detainees.
