As a healthcare worker, I’m sickened. ICE is being allowed into public hospitals. Staff are being threatened with termination if we interfere. Let that sink in.
We became nurses, techs, medics, and caregivers because we believe no one should be abandoned when they’re in pain. We clean blood off the floor. We hold dying hands. We carry trauma home in our bodies every single day. And now we’re supposed to stand by while federal agents tear patients away from safety?
If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.
Hospitals are supposed to be sanctuaries. This is a line that should never be crossed. But it has been, and it will keep happening unless we stop it.
To every nurse, every CNA, every worker in scrubs: I know the impossible position we’re in. We’re told we can’t walk out. That we’d be abandoning people. That we’re selfish for even thinking about it. But what happens when staying means cooperating with cruelty? When showing up means standing by while care is weaponized?
We are healers. Not enforcers. Not tools of surveillance. If we stay silent, we become complicit. If we don't draw the line, they will keep pushing.
It’s time to force this country to a halt. Recent numbers show over 56,000(I've seen a few numbers closer to 90k) human beings are being detained by ICE. Many have no criminal record. Families are being shattered inside a system designed for punishment, not justice. And now they’re dragging that system into our hospitals.
If they want to fire us for protecting the vulnerable, let them try. Let the whole damn country see what happens when the people holding it all together finally stop playing along.
We don’t work under threats. We don’t work with ICE. We don’t work in silence.
We fight. For our patients and for our future.
✊🏼

The things I see in the news are dystopian. It’s terrifying.
