AI-generated summary, report an errorThis House resolution states that immigrant rights and reproductive health rights are linked and should be pursued together. It condemns immigration detention and the denial or coercion of reproductive health care, including sterilization, abortion, and contraception, for immigrants. It calls on Congress to end the 5-year waiting period and other exclusions that keep some immigrants out of Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Affordable Care Act coverage. It also asks the Department of Homeland Security to restore protections for pregnant people in custody, monitor reproductive care in detention facilities, and report its internal detention reports to Congress, and asks the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure unaccompanied immigrant youth can get health care, including abortion, in any state. As a resolution, it states the House's position and does not itself change law.
