This resolution asserts that immigrant justice and reproductive justice are inseparable and must be pursued together, recognizing their shared struggle against systemic oppression like racism, xenophobia, and sexism. It defines reproductive justice as the human right to bodily autonomy and to raise families in safe environments, while immigrant justice demands dismantling systems that criminalize migration and deny immigrants access to health care and full personhood. The resolution highlights how discrimination based on immigration status, race, and gender restricts access to reproductive health care and bodily autonomy, particularly for millions of immigrants denied basic rights. It cites systemic failures by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to provide adequate reproductive care to detained individuals, leading to tragic outcomes and abuses like forced hysterectomies and denial of abortion. It condemns policies that restrict or deny reproductive healthcare and calls on Congress to eliminate barriers like the 5-year bar to federal health programs for immigrants. The resolution urges the Secretary of Homeland Security to reinstate protective status for pregnant individuals, implement transparent oversight of reproductive health care quality in detention facilities, and assess barriers to care. Furthermore, it calls on the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure unaccompanied immigrant youth can access necessary healthcare, including abortion, regardless of state location, affirming the right to comprehensive reproductive health care for all, irrespective of immigration status.
