RELEASE ASYLUM SEEKER’S MEDICAL RECORDS

USA UA 96.26

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Anabell, an asylum seeker, following a routine check-in on February 25, 2026. A judge later ruled the arrest unlawful, and she was released on October 30. Shortly after her arrest, Anabell learned she was pregnant. Throughout her eight-month detention, she received no prenatal care and was forced to carry heavy objects, causing her significant pain and bleeding that required hospitalization. Although she is now free, ICE refuses to release her medical records, preventing Anabell from fully understanding the treatment she received and what happened to her.

Dear Field Office Director Sam Olson,

I urge you to immediately provide Anabell, a Nicaraguan asylum seeker, with her complete medical records. I am deeply concerned that, after suffering a miscarriage and other serious health issues while in detention at the Campbell County Detention Center (CCDC), Anabell and her lawyers continue to be denied access to records concerning her medical care. Without these records, Anabell is unable to fully understand what treatment she received or what occurred during her hospitalization.

Anabell learned that she was pregnant after being unlawfully detained, taking two pregnancy tests with positive results, yet she was not given any prenatal care or prenatal vitamins despite federal policies requiring them. She was made to carry heavy items despite experiencing severe pain and vaginal bleeding, and repeatedly informed CCDC staff of her health concerns to no avail. In late March, she submitted an urgent medical request describing severe vaginal bleeding and significant pain. After detailing these life-threatening symptoms and pleading for help, Anabell was finally taken to an outside hospital for a miscarriage.

Despite the seriousness of her condition, Anabell received no information about her care. Following her return from the hospital, she experienced ongoing pain, numbness, vomiting, and hair loss. Her attorneys requested her medical records in April and in June, and Members of Congress requested them in July. ICE continues to refuse to provide Anabell and her lawyers with her medical records.

As Anabell has since been released from ICE detention, after a judge found her arrest to be unlawful, I implore you to ensure that Anabell is immediately provided with her complete medical records.

Yours sincerely,
