I would not put it past Trump and ICE to murder innocent children to prevent them from being born in this country. I guess abortions to avoid the birth of brown skin children are fine with Republican Christians, as maybe they are not considered human enough?
The story of Angie Rodriguez:
A few weeks after arriving at the immigrant detention center in Bakersfield, Angie Rodriguez felt sick to her stomach.
It ached, her head throbbed, even her teeth hurt. Suspecting an infection, the 26-year-old asylum-seeker – who had been living in San Jose before her July arrest at San Francisco’s immigration court – used one of the tablets in the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center women’s dormitory to request medical attention. The next day, she said, she was seen by a medic who took a urine sample that proved an inconvenient miracle: Rodriguez was pregnant.
In weeks, Rodriguez experienced a miscarriage, under circumstances that would disturb a federal judge and thrust the young woman to the forefront of a hidden problem inside U.S. detention centers – one that is testing President Donald Trump’s commitment to family values, his administration’s adherence to its own policies and the public’s appetite for his immigration crusade.
Since Trump reclaimed the White House, the for-profit prison industry that the Mesa Verde detention center belongs to has enjoyed boom times from the president’s campaign to imprison and deport unauthorized and once-legal immigrants. Detention facilities in the U.S. have swelled with immigrants, the vast majority without criminal records and taken from the country’s interior, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
On July 30, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., released an investigative report saying his office had found several dozen credible reports of neglected pregnant women, mistreated children and abused adults in immigration detention since Trump’s second term began. Pregnant women slept on floors of crowded intake cells, experienced weeks-long waits to see physicians and agonizing pregnancy losses, the report alleged.
