US citizen Cary Lopez Alvarado, 23, was detained by immigration agents eight hours before giving birth, handcuffed with a chain around her belly. She and her baby are among several Americans wrongly detained and allegedly racially profiled, facing harsh treatment and forced to prove citizenship. Alvarado's boyfriend was deported. A group, including Alvarado, filed lawsuits against the government, citing wrongful detention and alleged beatings. The DHS is on track to deport nearly 600,000 undocumented immigrants by 2025. A Supreme Court decision has raised concerns about increased risk for US citizens.
