According to the news agency Reuters, the US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that the matter will be investigated after the scandal comes to light.
The scandal erupted when a former nurse working at a detention center in Irvine County, Georgia, claimed that the "baby seeds" of women prisoners were being removed.
A nurse named Don Votten filed a complaint with the Homeland Security subsidiary, which investigates irregularities in government agencies.
Don Votten had filed a complaint with the Watchdog on September 14, alleging that the women in the Irvine County detention center were being "illegally removed" from their babies.
The former nurse claimed that most of the women prisoners whose 'wombs' were removed did not know what had happened to them.
In an interview with Reuters, Don Votten claimed that the medical team at the detention centers removed women's 'wombs' through unsafe methods because the staff there did not know the safe medical methods for removing 'baby seeds'.
The former nurse said the "babies" of women in detention centers who had complained of excessive menstruation or birth control were removed.
According to Don Votten, most of the women's 'babies' in the detention centers were removed by a lady doctor stationed there.
Following the revelations of the former nurse, although the government agency overseeing the detention centers denied the allegations, the case caused a stir across the United States.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that opposition Democratic lawmakers pressed the government to investigate after a scandal erupted over the removal of women's "mothers" in detention centers.
Other Democrats, including U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have called for a full and transparent investigation into the removal of women's "mothers" from detention centers.
On the other hand, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which handles medical matters at the detention center, has dismissed the allegations made by the former nurse as baseless.
At the same time, the ICE acknowledged that since 2018, only women's 'babies' have been removed from the detention centers.
According to the agency, the two women whose 'wombs' were removed had formally obtained permission from higher authorities and were removed due to complications in a transparent medical manner.
Demonstrations broke out in several US states against the incident
