U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stopped maintaining data on miscarriages in its detention facilities just as the number of pregnant women and teenagers in custody climbed to record levels, according to newly released government documents.
ICE recorded at least 18 miscarriages between January and September 2025, the first nine months of President Donald Trump's second administration. However, the agency said it has no updated miscarriage data after Oct. 3, 2025, leaving the federal government unable to say how many additional pregnancies have ended while immigrants were in its custody.
