  • Trump has so far not deported more people than the Biden or Obama administrations did, but the PR blitz around his deportations is distinct. As a result, immigrants across the country are changing their routines, keeping children home from school and skipping doctor's appointments.

The article from POLITICO's "Women Rule" newsletter discusses how former President Donald Trump's proposed immigration policies could significantly impact maternal health care in the U.S. Trump's plan includes mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and restricting legal immigration, which could lead to a drastic reduction in the number of immigrant healthcare workers. Immigrants, particularly those from countries like the Philippines, Nigeria, and India, play a crucial role in the U.S. healthcare system, especially in obstetrics and gynecology. The potential exodus of these professionals could exacerbate existing shortages in maternal health care, particularly in underserved areas where these workers often fill critical gaps. This could result in increased maternal mortality rates, reduced access to care, and a further strain on an already overburdened system, highlighting the unintended consequences of stringent immigration policies on public health.
