GoKawiilICE Stopped Tracking Miscarriages in Detention After Recording 18 Cases
A Guardian investigation found ICE documented 18 miscarriages among detained women in the first nine months of Trump's second term, but stopped keeping records after October 2025, leaving an unknown number of subsequent losses uncounted. One detainee, an asylum seeker named Anabell, described being denied prenatal care and a doctor's visit for weeks despite bleeding, before finally being taken to an emergency room shackled to a bed, where she learned she had lost her pregnancy.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The lapse in recordkeeping suggests federal detention facilities are not just failing to provide adequate prenatal care but actively losing track of how many women suffer pregnancy loss in custody, undermining any oversight or accountability. As immigration enforcement sweeps up growing numbers of pregnant women and teens, the gap in ICE's own data makes it harder for advocates, courts or Congress to assess the true scale of harm inside these facilities.
- ICE recorded 18 miscarriages among detainees in nine months but has since stopped tracking the figure.
- Detainees describe being denied basic prenatal care like blood tests and vitamins.
- One asylum seeker was shackled to a hospital bed while being treated for a pregnancy loss.
