This article in the New York Times highlights that undocumented pregnant women are risking their health by postponing prenatal care and giving birth in their homes as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
"When President Trump unleashed his crackdown on immigration, people without legal status scrambled to erase the traces of their existence to avoid being swept up. They stayed home to hide from aggressive new street arrests. And thousands dropped out of welfare programs to steer clear of a policy that posed a less visible threat. Under an expansion of the limits on “public charge,” the administration said it would withhold legalization for undocumented immigrants who had used certain public benefits."
