Bans shackling and requires release for most pregnant, lactating, or postpartum noncitizens in detention.
This bill would largely stop the detention and physical restraint of pregnant, lactating, or postpartum noncitizens held by immigration authorities. It would require their release in most cases and ensure they get proper medical care, including reproductive health services.
Currently, pregnant and postpartum noncitizens can be held in immigration detention and may be physically restrained. If this bill becomes law, most pregnant, lactating, or postpartum noncitizens would be released, and the use of restraints on them would be largely forbidden, with very strict exceptions. All individuals processed into custody would also get pregnancy testing.
