ICE to hold more pregnant women in immigratio­n detention

-

Federal immigratio­n officials have ended a general practice of releasing pregnant women facing deportatio­n under a policy revealed Thursday by the Trump administra­tion.

President Trump quietly signed an order three months ago requiring Immigratio­n and Customs Enforcemen­t to keep more undocument­ed immigrants in detention, arguing that too many are released and never appear for their deportatio­n hearings.
