A public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption says United States taxpayers shouldn't be paying for illegal alien detainees' birth control and abortions.

Judicial Watch (JW) wants to know how much money Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is spending on birth control, abortions, and sex-change treatments for illegal immigrants who are being held by ICE, pending deportation.

Fitton, Tom (Judicial Watch)JW president Tom Fitton tells OneNewsNow his organization is suing the Department of Homeland Security to obtain the documents through two Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.

"We hope to expose what's going on here and how ICE is providing these dubious services and controversial services to illegal aliens," he states.

"This is just one more example of the administration bending over backwards to essentially help illegal aliens in ways that are inappropriate."

Fitton contends that ICE should be spending taxpayer dollars on protecting the interests of American citizens.

"The administration complains they need to prioritize law enforcement resources when it comes to deporting illegal aliens. They use that as an excuse not to deport illegal aliens," he points out.

"Well, one [way] of the prioritizing should be devoting resources to apprehending, detaining, and deporting illegal aliens as opposed to spending resources on this unneeded medical care, such as transgender therapy and hormone treatment."

The Judicial Watch president concludes that this is an embarrassing scandal for the Obama administration, which is why his organization believes the White House has violated the law and refused their requests for information.
