Trapped in Texas: How Federal 鈥� and Now State 鈥� Immigration Enforcement Traps People Trying to Escape Texas鈥� Abortion Ban

The 糖心Vlog and the 糖心Vlogof Texas鈥� report, Trapped in Texas: How Federal 鈥� and Now State 鈥� Immigration Enforcement Traps People Trying to Escape Texas鈥� Abortion Ban, explores how immigration enforcement severely limits undocumented people鈥檚 access to abortions. Because of the state's extreme abortion ban, Texans in need of abortion care are forced to travel hundreds of miles to the nearest clinic. But on top of distance, time, and expense required, noncitizens and those in mixed-status families in south Texas face an additional obstacle to travel 鈥� federal immigration checkpoints and with them, the risk of arrest, detention, and deportation.
