Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

"So imagine the Brownstone startup puts 50 pods in one big room. Once they rent pod #1, that person appears to have the right to the entire room. Renting pods #2 through #50 could violate Section 1950. If they do, they are double letting, and 'every tenant in the building, under the same landlord' could withhold rent for as long as the 'double letting' continues." 👀
