During the Trump Administration, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Directive (11032.3) revoked the automatic release of pregnant women detained by ICE. This paper presents a policy analysis of the impact of this directive on pregnant Latina migrants. The directive is contextualized as part of the Trump Administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that directed U.S. attorney’s offices along the southwest border in April of 2018 to criminally prosecute all cases involving illegal entry with no exceptions. Under this policy, Latin American migrants seeking asylum in the USA faced criminalization, family separation, and detention. Reproductive justice (R.J.) is the guiding conceptual framework for analyzing this policy's impact. Three case studies demonstrate the reproductive and human rights violations impacting pregnant, migrant Latinas seeking to enter the U.S. under “zero-tolerance.” This policy did not deter migration from Central and South America and created avoidable harm. Although “zero-tolerance” was rescinded in 2021, the long-term impacts remain unknown. Implications and recommendations for social work practice, policy advocacy, and social work education are provided.

美国边境怀孕的拉丁裔移民:“零容忍”期间 ICE 卫生服务政策的生殖正义知情分析

在特朗普政府期间,移民和海关执法 (ICE) 指令 (11032.3) 撤销了自动释放被 ICE 拘留的孕妇的规定。本文对该指令对怀孕的拉丁裔移民的影响进行了政策分析。该指令被视为特朗普政府“零容忍”移民政策的一部分,该政策于 2018 年 4 月指示西南边境的美国检察官办公室对所有涉及非法入境的案件进行刑事起诉,无一例外。根据这项政策,在美国寻求庇护的拉丁美洲移民面临刑事定罪、家庭分离和拘留。生殖正义 (RJ) 是分析该政策影响的指导性概念框架。三个案例研究表明生殖权利和人权侵犯行为影响孕妇、寻求以“零容忍”方式进入美国的拉丁裔移民。这项政策并没有阻止来自中美洲和南美洲的移民,并造成了本可以避免的伤害。尽管“零容忍”在2021年被取消,但长期影响仍不得而知。提供了对社会工作实践、政策倡导和社会工作教育的启示和建议。
