Immigration Raids and Pregnant and Nursing Immigrants

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20
PROGRAM #10691 11:00 AM PT

Immigration Raids and Pregnant and Nursing Immigrants. Trump’s executive orders seeking mass deportations, carrying out heightened immigration operations, and stating that hospitals are no longer protected from ICE raids are already taking a toll on the health of immigrant families. Pregnant women could be particularly impacted. According to reports, they may be changing their routines, skipping doctor’s appointments, opting out of public health insurance, and keeping children home from school. California health advocates talk about what they hear on the ground and share advice.

Guests: Monica Bravo, Promoter, Visión y Compromiso, Madera, CA; Militza Garaban, Doula, Fresno, CA; Rosa, Mother, Madera, CA.
