The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it
With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.

My forthcoming novel JITTERBUG is about characters who've been dealt rough hands in their lives, and how each of them has adapted to survive. It's also about how great historical events, maybe even the survival of humanity, can hinge on the actions of a handful of people caught at the epicentre.
