The Trump administration moved this week to end longstanding protections barring ICE from conducting raids in hospitals and medical clinics. This decision is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making.

My 1st COVID fatality didn’t actually die of COVID. He had pneumonia and was afraid of catching COVID at the hospital so he didn’t go. He went into respiratory and cardiac arrest at home. My point is that people will die if they’re afraid to go to the hospital. This admin doesn’t care.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have in recent days deported the Cuban-born mother of a 1-year-old girl — separating them indefinitely — and three children ages 2, 4 and 7 who are U.S. citizens along with their Honduran-born mothers, their lawyers said Saturday
Dailey reminder that Executive Orders are meaningless pieces of paper. No one has to follow them ever. Congress could stop all this any time it wants. Remember the GOP is letting all this happen bc they are scared to get doxxed.
JFC. First they came for churches, then they came for judges, now they come for hospitals. And since they have stolen all of our personal data, no one is safe.
I'm a supplier for several local Hospitals and it is understood there are areas do you do not go into and things you do not touch, you know, because it is a Hospital and being germ free and sanitary is rather important.
So yeah. what can possibly go wrong here? 🤦♂️
Agents who comply should be named. Following orders to commit atrocities is not an excuse. If they are going to act like Nazis, they should be treated as such.
ACLU — NEW ORLEANS: “ICE deported at least two families, including 2 mothers and their minor children – 3 of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant... 1 child with cancer deported without medication…”
This is absolutely disgusting. I worked in a hospital for a LONG time, and even admitting that the patient they are looking for is under my care would have been a HIPPA violation, and enough to get me fired and pull my license. No health care professional who like their job will allow this.
I was in the hospital last year I can't even imagine having an ICE raid happening while trying to recover from illness and or surgery At this rate ICE will arrest babies in isolettes!
ICE is the enemy of a free people. Once you get used to children's screams and are fine with it then there is no coming back from that from a humanity standpoint. You are simply an evil fuck.
ER nurse in an immigrant heavy area: I guess they'll disappear me with my patients cause ain't no way in hell I'm letting the brown shirts near them without a fight.
Israel target hospitals with the full backing of the USA government especially children’s hospitals. They don’t care about human rights. USA doesn’t care about human rights. Sad but true
Now people aren't just afraid of going into court house or calling police when they witness a crime. They'll also be afraid to seek medical care which will spread disease if not merely making their own problems worse.
If I go to the ER for an adrenal crisis and these bozos delay my treatment,
I will die. They are just endangering their prey, they are endangering us all
Apart from the habitual cruelty of T$$$$'s willing collaborators, in raiding a hospital room in battle gear they are, at a minimum, putting in danger the lives of all patients in vicinity, the medical staff, visitors... the shock and I doubt those masks and uniforms were cleaned/disinfected
The major university hospital I use is locked down like Fort Knox. You even have to go through security to enter the ER waiting area. Good luck trying to breach that.
Does Trump’s ICE militiamen think sick children are a threat to national security? Who are these nut jobs and what kind of cruel garbage is giving these orders?
When my husband had surgery last week the nurse asked him if he was a US citizen as mandated by Texas law. I told him he should have refused to answer!
The scare tactic motivation here is "superior genes" idiotic racism. Eugenics became a joke with the revolution in molecular biology in 1953. We are seeing the most ignorant and defective people on the planet needing this fallacy to feel superior. They are obviously very inferior because of it.
ICE now literally kicking people when they are down. ICE is trafficking children. ICE is trafficking women. ICE is trafficking men into slavery. Abolish ICE.
I will cheer. Grab them the fuck off the streets and disappear them. See if they like it. Ship them off to some hell hole prison that isn't at all picky that they are white-ish.
Of course! If Israeli military can bomb civilians in hospitals, surely it's fine for the US Gestapo to go anywhere and arrest anyone that doesn't look like them.
In the spirit of Pope Francis the Catholic church should provide sanctuary and speak up. The image of ICE agents and private militia dragging people out of churches and arresting priests would be a powerful tool against Facism.
Straight out of the Nazi playbook.
Dems, bring Articles of Impeachment. Plenty to choose from, but kidnapping a 2 yr old United States citizen is a solid legal one. Who cares Johnson ignores it. Hold it over the GOP like a black cloud for the next 18 mo's. It will make Trump miserable too. It's a gift, take it. #Impeach
they have already "deported" kids with cancer, with this they will probably "deport" a people with measles (we have nearly 900 cases at count 2 days ago) to a country that may not have high vaccination rates. I hope the @who.int and ICC are paying attention.
The fact ICE goes on school busses, in schools, malls & courtrooms isn't enough to tell you that it's now a Police state, & martial law is imminent. If pushback is seen? Push back Must be seen.

Also, again I’m reminding you, this is coming straight to you from the heritage foundation! Start focusing on them.

The only point.

No more nonsense.
One “P”, two “A’s”.
I will die. They are just endangering their prey, they are endangering us all
▪︎ a sanctuary
▪︎ a safe space/ place
▪︎ neutral to Political rhetoric.
Such inhumane actions.
But Trump will angry-evil bark "ONE MORE STUNT LIKE THAT, AND THERE'S HELL TO PAY!"
The word you're looking for is trafficking
Coupled with kidnapping
STOP calling them deportations. That is a legal term. It's not even close to what he's actually doing
Straight out of the Nazi playbook.
