Trump administration eliminates protections for pregnant women and babies in CBP detention
16 May 2025, 12:15 Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has worked tirelessly to strip migrants of their rights. One of his most recent measures targets the most vulnerable individuals. A memorandum from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has eliminated special care provisions for pregnant women, babies, the elderly, and people with serious medical conditions who are in immigration detention. Titled “Rescission of Legacy Policies Related to Care and Custody,” the May 5 letter is addressed to senior officials at the agency, which is primarily responsible for detaining and supervising undocumented migrants arriving at the U.S. border.
