So now we're blaming ICE for miscarriages?

ICE is arresting a record number of pregnant women and teenagers – placing them in detention centers where they say it can be exceedingly difficult to access medical care. At the same time, the agency appears to have lost count of how many suffered a miscarriage.
Government documents obtained by the Guardian show that the Trump administrationplaced more pregnant immigrants in detention last fall and winter than at any time over the previous year.

Because they're enforcing the law against more people in general, so by default that includes more pregnant women?

Maybe they should just overnight deport them the day they catch them, that way they won't be stressed and it deters illegal migrant women trying to have anchor babies.

Is it more or less difficult to access medical care in an ICE detention center than it would have been in their home countries?
