ICE lost count of miscarriages among detained pregnant women
The gist
ICE says it has no updated miscarriage count after 3 October 2025.
The gap leaves oversight of pregnant detainees' medical care in question.
How it unfolded

- Feb 19, 2026A woman who was 24 weeks pregnant and detained by ICE at the Burlington facility was rushed to the hospital in acute abdominal pain, the Globe previously reported.
- Sep 14, 2026ICE arrests Iara do Carmo Santana, who had gone through a miscarriage; she was charged with domestic violence after her fiancé called 911 during a mental health crisis and spent roughly four days in an ICE field office in Burlington, often deprived of medicine for her infection, which grew worse.
