The Department of Immigration (ICE) is creating a health crisis for pregnant patients, particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy, as an OB-GYN. The agency has been under fire for creating a significant health crisis among pregnant patients and forcing them to miss their medical appointments due to fear of violence. The risk of prematurity, stillbirth and infant death increases with lack of prenatal care, according to a study that found that the less prenatal care received, the more likely babies to die. The raids by ICE have resulted in record no-show rates to ultrasound appointments, a rare appointment for most pregnant patients. The author argues that ICE has made impossible choices for both the health of patients and their families, allowing them to live without fear.
