ICE is using smartwatches to track pregnant women, even during labor: ‘She was so afraid they would take her baby’

Though the labor and delivery staff caring for her expected her to have a smooth delivery, her case presented complications almost immediately.

Staff eventually did remove the device, and ICE agents did not show up at the hospital during the delivery.

The nurses said they do not know what happened to the woman after she left the hospital with her baby.

The lack of procedure to have ankle or wrist monitors removed in medical emergencies has affected more than just pregnant women.

In 2009, ICE discontinued the use of ankle monitors for pregnant women and people whose medical conditions made it “inappropriate” to wear them.

One of the Colorado staff said they’re deeply concerned about how this unremovable watch will continue to impact vulnerable pregnant women.

Under the Biden administration, several departments within DHS attempted to address the lack of consistent policy around how ICE should run ATD. »
