Every medical professional and airline ICE spoke to told them she was too pregnant to safely fly. But instead of delaying removal, ICE kept searching until they found officials willing to be complicit and authorize travel. ICE’s own policies state that pregnant people should only be detained or transferred under exceptional circumstances — and with safeguards to protect their health and safety.
