Colombian woman denied prenatal care, suffers miscarriage in detention

Country of origin: India

Komalpreet Kaur was 23 years old and pregnant when she was arrested by ICE at a routine check-in in California last October. Kaur, who had been granted a five-year work permit by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, was detained for two and a half months at the California City Detention Facility, where she experienced issues like severe weight loss that put her pregnancy at risk and required urgent medical attention. Yet, according to the court filings, she received neither the care she needed nor a hearing about her case until she took ICE to court and a judge ordered her release last December.
