Biden directs ICE to limit arrests of pregnant, nursing women

BY REBECCA BEITSCH - 07/09/21 09:48 AM EDT

The Biden administration has directed its immigration officers to avoid arresting pregnant and nursing women, and set new guidelines for treatment when they are taken into government custody.

A July 1 memo signed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting Director Tae Johnson obtained by The Hill directs the agency to house women in “an appropriate facility to manage their care.”

“Generally ICE should not detain, arrest or take into custody for an administrative violation of the immigration laws individuals known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing unless release is prohibited by law or exceptional circumstances exist,” Johnson wrote in a memo to ICE officers.

Getting arrested means a life saved in Arizona. I guess Biteme just wants to let them die. It's only women and children.
