"  According to\u00A0Fusion,\u00A0Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 13 pregnant women in an El Paso immigration detention center between August and November 2013. The women were taken there after trying to cross the Mexican border, ICE told\u00A0Fusion.\u00A0The agency only released the name of one woman,\u00A0Lucia Chilel Ramirez, who was in her third trimester when released from ICE custody last month after being held for 110 days. The news is controversial since ICE&amp;#039;s policies say pregnant women shouldn&amp;#039;t be detained in their facilities unless under &amp;quot;extraordinary circumstances.&amp;quot; Detaining pregnant women is low on their priority list and requires permission from field office directors. Advocates also say inadequate medical care in detention can pose a threat to the lives of women and their unborn children. There is no information on whether ICE got permission to detain the women.\u00A0 \u00A0 Follow Ariel Nagi on Twitter.\u00A0 Photo Credit: Getty\u00A0\u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
