Mother's Day petition demands CBP limit detention of pregnant, postpartum and nursing parents

SAN DIEGO — On Mexican Mother’s Day, there are calls for better treatment of pregnant, postpartum and nursing people in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody.

Langarica met ABC 10News outside the Chula Vista CBP Station. She says it was inside this station that her client, a young mother who was in CBP custody, was forced to give birth holding onto a garbage can for support — partially delivering the baby into her pants. The incident in 2020 prompted a formal review by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.

While the report’s findings conclude that “Border Patrol provided adequate medical assistance to the mother and her newborn and complied with applicable policies,” it also found that Border Patrol’s “data on pregnant detainees is limited and the agency lacks the necessary processes and guidance to reliably track childbirths that occur in custody.” She says their Mother’s Day petition has been signed by more than 1,200 people and organizations and was sent to the CBP commissioner on Friday.
