Trump routes all pregnant migrant minors to Texas shelter to block abortion access

The Trump administration directed the Office of Refugee Resettlement to send all pregnant unaccompanied minors in federal custody to a single group shelter in San Benito, Texas, a state where abortion is virtually banned. ORR officials and child welfare experts objected that the South Texas facility lacked adequate medical care for high-risk pregnancies. The policy followed Project 2025 blueprints and reversed court-established rights for detained minors to access abortion, first recognized in the 2018 Garza v. Hargan ruling.
