As the war in Sudan enters its fourth year, we repeat our call for an end to the violence, as well as the centering of impacted women in peace and recovery efforts.

For the millions of civilians whose lives have been upended by the wars in Iran and Lebanon, including countless women and girls facing fallout across the region, this week’s ceasefire agreement has not meant an end to the violence:

Legal and bureaucratic obstacles complicate family reunification for migrants deported by Trump Some 400 Hondurans expelled by the US are denouncing that authorities did not allow them to take their children with them and are asking their government for help in getting them back

Dozens said they weren’t given chance to arrange care for their kids after being deported at short notice, study shows

ICE is ignoring rules put in place to avoid family separations, researchers say Many mothers "had no contact with their children...for days or weeks."

A mother of four whose husband had previously been deported told officers that her kids would be alone if she was detained. They took her anyway.

A father said he begged officers to let him notify a babysitter of his arrest; they declined.

ICE is shunning its own rules to avoid family separations.

ICE has been deporting pregnant and postpartum immigrants. Now we know how many. The numbers offer the most detailed look at how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been caught up in the immigration enforcement surge, despite federal policy discouraging the practice.

363 pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants were deported b/w Jan 2025 and Feb 16, DHS confirms.

16 miscarried in detention.

121 actively detained as of last month.

These are the first numbers we have on how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been detained under Trump.
