Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only inhumane, but also poses a significant threat to public health. This reckless policy can deter vulnerable individuals from seeking medical care, leading to untreated illnesses and a surge in preventable diseases. As a result, the entire community is put at risk, making it a public health catastrophe in the making. The consequences of such actions can be devastating, with far-reaching impacts on healthcare systems and community well-being, highlighting the need for a compassionate and informed approach to immigration policies, including healthcare access and medical ethics.
