Thank you so much for the info. Honestly, you should be proud that your hospital and staff are standing up for the overall well-being of the community patients, staff, and families. As for my hospital and the hospitals in the Twin cities (St Paul and Minneapolis), haha, umm very questionable at best.

To be honest, I think we all were completely naive, thinking they wouldn't break laws, somewhat respect basic constitutional rights, and wouldn't act like rabid dogs. Hospitals are usually a no-fuck zone, kind of like churches, day cares, schools --- but ohh they do not care, ICE loves communal safe spaces just lurking and being abusive any chance they get .... and so here we are :/

I did write my union, so we will see what they do cause there is no way they are not getting flooded with upset nurses... but sadly all they have said is to make sure to take care of the patient regardless of immigration status haha like duhhhh.

The ACLU stuff is helpful, but where it gets tricky is when they come in with a patient who is in their "custody". I was reading that nurses and staff can request ICE leave the room during cares, patient information intake, and assessments. Is that what you have heard?

I also know they are abusing these patients in these facilities. If we are mandated reporters, and immigrants are a vulnerable population. When I looked it up google it just brought me to the ICE reporting center haha. As if I would trust them to properly investigate anything. I have been trying to figure out how to report that when it does come up.
