    Border Patrol 'welcomes' investigation into birth at Chula Vista station

    Border Patrol 'welcomes' investigation into birth at Chula Vista station

    Customs and Border Protection pushed back Thursday on a complaint from a Guatemalan woman who gave birth at a Border Patrol station in Chula Vista.









    © Eric Gay/AP A U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine agent's patch is seen as he patrols patrol near the Texas-Mexico border , Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015, in Rio Grande City, Texas.




    The woman's complaint, filed Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union and Jewish Family Service, asked the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General to investigate what happened since Border Patrol's account of the situation at the time was so different from the woman's version of events.


    CBP disputed the woman's story on Thursday in a statement, saying that Border Patrol agents follow the agency's detention standards.


    The agency "strongly disagrees with the unsubstantiated allegations against our agents," a CBP spokesman said.


    "The allegations do not equate to what we know to be common practice at our facilities," he added.


    The woman's complaint says that Border Patrol agents ignored her requests for immediate medical assistance when she was apprehended in February and was instead taken to a station for routine processing with her husband and two daughters. She was eight months pregnant and in substantial pain, according to her account.


    The woman, who has been identified only as Ana, said that she was standing due to her pain, despite an agent's order to sit, and clutching the side of a trash can for stability when she partially gave birth to her daughter in her pants, according to her complaint. She said agents and medical staff reached for the child, some without gloves.


    "Although joyous about the birth of her child, (Ana) felt humiliated after realizing she had been surrounded by about 20 strangers, including multiple Border Patrol agents and other unknown detained men, while she gave birth," the complaint says.


    CBP said that according to its records, Ana was undergoing a medical assessment at the station when staff realized that she was in labor.


    "They quickly mobilized to successfully deliver her baby," a CBP spokesman said, noting that Ana was soon transported to a hospital.


    The agency "supports what appear to be nothing short of heroic actions of medical personnel and agents on scene and welcomes the response of DHS OIG," a CBP spokesman said.


    After spending a couple of days at the hospital, Ana returned with her newborn to the station and spent the night before being released to the Jewish Family Service Migrant Family Shelter.


    In the complaint, she said that the temperature inside the Border Patrol station was "extremely cold."


    In its statement, CBP also disputed this point, saying that under its guidelines, agents are not supposed to use temperature for punitive measures and are to keep it in a "reasonable and comfortable range."


    The woman's complaint is not the first filed to call attention to alleged conditions for pregnant women in CBP custody. The ACLU filed another complaint on the issue in January.

    Any illegal alien who shows up visibly pregnant needs to be immediately deported back to Mexico. Call their EMT's to deliver it. Mexico let them in and Mexico can pay for it.


    I am sick of these disgusting people giving birth on our doorstep. They are also given drugs to induce labor, and show up just at the right time!


    Then they have the GAUL to file a complaint and sue us. The hell with these people, boot them all out.


    Do not take them to any "station", do not let them set foot on our soil.


    Process them before they step foot on our soil and use a App to do it, along with fingerprint, then turn them right back around.


    Process and deport that whole family and that new born. We should not be paying for this!


    Send them back home to give birth in their WARM beds!!! Not here!
