Description

The American Civil Liberties Union in San Diego joined other immigrant rights advocacy organizations and medical professionals today to urge border officials to limit the detention of pregnant women and their families. In a letter to Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus, 83 advocacy organizations and 51 medical professionals demanded that the detention of pregnant, postpartum, nursing persons and infants be limited "to the minimum time period necessary to process them for release from CBP custody.'' This call for change comes after a detainee gave birth while in custody at the Chula Vista Border Patrol Station in February 2020.
