In the latest effort of the federal government to sidestep states following the overturn of Roe, ICE will offer taxpayer-funded abortions to migrant women.

From The Daily Wire. Migrant women in detention centers might soon be given the option of getting an abortion even if the procedure is illegal within the state where the woman is held.

A memorandum from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Tae Johnson offered details regarding the new policy.

“This memorandum serves as a reminder of existing ICE policies and standards requiring that pregnant individuals detained in ICE immigration custody have access to full reproductive health care,” read the letter sent to agency official Corey Price, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

”This is also a reminder that, pursuant to existing ICE policy, it may be necessary to transfer a detained pregnant individual within an area of responsibility (AOR) or to another AOR, when appropriate and practicable, in order to ensure such access,” it added.

ICE facilities already allow abortions for migrants in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to a mother’s life, per the agency’s current regulations. The new policy would allow the expansion of access for those detained and awaiting the outcome of asylum claims.

The change is also an action to address trigger laws and new restrictions added in several conservative-led states following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in June. The new ICE policy would take precedence in states with laws that strongly limit abortion, allowing abortions in states where they would otherwise be illegal….
