An eight months pregnant woman with contractions traveled to the United States to seek asylum and when she arrived, she was told to wait in Mexico.
The pregnant woman’s attorney Jodi Goodwin says “she’s concerned about having the baby in the street or having to have the baby in a shelter.”
Even worse still, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security claimed that “vulnerable populations” would not be sent to Mexico, but apparently, a pregnant woman currently experiencing contractions is not “vulnerable” enough for them. US Customs and Border Protection claimed that they wouldn’t deem a pregnant woman a member of a “vulnerable population” if they couldn’t see that she was pregnant. However, in this case, it was CBP who sent the woman to the hospital to stop her contractions. “There’s no way that CBP could suggest that her pregnancy wasn’t known,” her lawyer stated.
