Being pregnant doesn't make you immune to law enforcement.

Technically correct.
Do tell though - what prevents ICE from treating humans like humans? Too much to ask?

These trackers are the humane way.
ICE could be way less nice than this.

Is removing the tracking device and absconding with her anchor baby considered following the law and complying?

I’m not sure if you read the same article as me. Or maybe you’re reading between the lines in an uncharitable way due to a bias. Who knows.
I’ll quote:
> All three women encountered by the Colorado hospital staff were reluctant to take their monitors off, fearing that doing so would trigger an alert to ICE or BI Inc, the staff said, even if removing the device was deemed medically necessary.
YOU think these pregnant women showed an INTENT to break the law (removing their monitors)? I see the opposite. Please quote or explain why you think they tried to “run away and break the law”.
Furthermore, and this is a question since i’m unsure, what laws protect the unborn child and its health during a medical emergency?
