Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to deport a severely ill pregnant mother with two children on Wednesday, even though she’s still fighting her removal order in court, the woman’s lawyer told HuffPost.
“It’s appalling,” Ziesemer said. “We as a country have made a decision to treat detainees as subhuman.” “We need her here,” said her 70-year-old mother, Abladia Santiago Bermudes. “Her kids are here. What are we going to do without her?”President Donald Trump’s administration has come under fire for its treatment of immigrants in Border Patrol stations, which lawyers have described as horrific and filthy. But longer-term detention centers are also a dangerous place for pregnant women, activists say. Last year, the Trump administration ended a policy of presuming release for pregnant women.
Yet, rather than allowing her case to go before the courts, ICE said it would deport Centeno Santiago on Wednesday. Ziesemer said this violates the immigrant’s legal rights and suspects the agency is retaliating since the mother contacted presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and the media about her situation on Friday.
Her mother came to the U.S. four months ago because she was being threatened by gangs in Guatemala. Santiago Bermudes now worries her daughter’s life will be in danger and that she will have no one to help her raise a newborn.
