Democratic lawmakers demand ICE data on detainee miscarriages, The Guardian reports
The Guardian reports that Democratic lawmakers want answers after ICE acknowledged it has no miscarriage data for October 2025 through June 2026, while DHS denies poor care.
According to The Guardian, three Democratic representatives, Brittany Pettersen, Joyce Beatty and Robin Kelly, wrote to 's acting director, David Venturella, asking how many detained pregnant immigrants had miscarriages, stillbirths or pregnancy-related hospitalizations. The Guardian says 64 other representatives cosigned and that lawmakers want a response by 6 November. Documents the outlet obtained show 18 miscarriages recorded in the first nine months of the Trump administration and no data on miscarriages after 3 October 2025.
ICE documents blame a billing provider change, The Guardian reports. A spokesperson told the outlet that claims of subprime care for pregnant detainees are false.
