Angie, a 26-year-old asylum-seeker from San Jose, discovered she was pregnant shortly after being detained at the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield, California. She later woke up passing large amounts of fluid and experienced severe bleeding and cramping; migrant rights advocates say she was denied immediate medical care and was shackled during transport to a hospital, where she required a blood transfusion. Medical staff at the facility told her she had miscarried and that it was not her fault. Advocates say her case reflects a broader pattern of ICE failing to follow required protocols for pregnant and postpartum detainees. She is among at least 18 women ICE recorded as having miscarried in custody during the first nine months of the Trump administration, though the agency says it has no data on miscarriages after October 2025.
