These poor women are like political footballs when it comes to this immigration issue. They’re planning to have their children in this country, and likely aren’t prepared to turn back if they are denied entry. The government doesn’t want to be seen as turning them away, so they simply detain them for undetermined periods of time, like they are with the children at the border.

A small Step forward, to give some context they used to have limits on detaining pregnant immigrants that almost always required releasing them on bond or under supervision.

However, the Trump-Pence administration’s“zero tolerance” immigration policy aimed to prosecute every person crossing the border.

“Most” but not all!
