	"description": "Join healthcare workers across the country to call for our elected officials to use their authority to stop ICE violence while they still can, and our institutions to defend the sanctity of healthcare! In the past weeks and months, we have collectively witnessed children violently taken from their parents, families torn apart, health care workers abducted, and federal agents chasing patients into emergency departments. We have witnessed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) besiege the state of Minnesota and other communities across the nation, detaining multiple U.S. citizens, children, and even Native Americans. These attacks culminated in the murder of two US citizens who were peacefully exercising their constitutional rights. Our community members hide in their homes, afraid to visit clinics, attend school and work, or even go to the grocery store, as masked, armed federal agents roam the streets. We have witnessed an increasingly violent federal agency act without accountability. There have been at least 12 shootings in January 2026 alone and 2025 saw over 30 reported deaths in ICE custody, the highest number in over 20 years. For months, our schedules have held empty slots, as our immigrant patients have risked skipping life-saving medical care. Fear of seeking care during emergencies can be fatal, while delaying or interrupting treatment for chronic illnesses worsens health and increases cost. Immigrants are also our neighbors, our friends, our coworkers, and us; they represent nearly 20% of the healthcare workforce. As our coworkers lose status we wonder who will care for our communities. A core principle of healthcare is that we care for all people to the best of our ability, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, or immigration status. Providing care free from discrimination is an ethical obligation and fundamental to public health. After the shooting of both Renee Good and Alex Pretti, healthcare professionals were prevented from administering first aid, a violation of both our ethical duties and the Geneva Conventions. At this time when so many of our patients are living in fear, it is our ethical duty as healthcare providers to stand with them and denounce these harmful operations. As we mourn the lives taken or disrupted by ICE, during the week of January 26-30, we will don black armbands, ribbons, and clothing to bear witness, express solidarity with our community members and colleagues, and demand action from those in power. We join a national call by over 200 organizations to demand Congress immediately halt all funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection until the violence, abuses, and deaths in American communities and in immigration detention centers stop. We also call on our health institutions to protect the sanctity of healthcare, and our colleagues, patients and communities. (Only names, credentials, and titles will be displayed. Institution names will be reviewed by organizers for coordination purposes.)",
