"One detained woman, identified as Marie, said officials did not believe her when she informed them of her pregnancy, and held her in solitary confinement for at least three days."

No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.

To the surprise of no one, DHS trained criminals to be agents. One recruit at the ICE training facility in Brunswick, Georgia, the current DHS official said, had been charged with strong-arm robbery and battery over a domestic violence incident.
