I would like to take a moment to talk about Jacinta Morales, a woman
from Oregon detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma,
Washington. Jacinta found out she was pregnant while she was in
detention. She said: I was thrilled to be pregnant and thrilled at the
prospect of being a mother again. When she found out she would be deported, torn from her 11-year-old
U.S. citizen son as well as her long-time partner, Jacinta was
devastated. She experienced pain and nausea, and not long after, she
woke up bleeding. After an hour, she went to the doctor, where she
waited another hour.
