Democratic Lawmakers Demand ICE Data on Detainee Miscarriages

Reps. Brittany Pettersen, Joyce Beatty and Robin Kelly, joined by 64 co-signers, wrote to acting ICE Director David Venturella asking how many pregnant people in detention have had miscarriages, stillbirths or pregnancy-related hospitalizations. The letter follows a Guardian investigation: ICE recorded 18 miscarriages in the first nine months of the Trump administration but has no miscarriage data after October 3, 2025, which internal documents blame on a change of medical-billing provider. A DHS spokesperson confirmed there is no data from October 2025 through June 2026.
