ICE training for Hospital Workers

From Cary, NC Gabriel Johnson was denied medical attention and suffered a stroke in ICE custody leaving him paralyzed.

From Durham, NC Prisciliano Trejo Ricano was denied medical attention after experiencing severe symptoms. He was later transferred to an intensive care unit in Atlanta where he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia. A few days later her died in ICE Custody, intubated and restrained to a hospital bed.

So far this year, the death of 50 immigrants in ICE custody have been made public.

As healthcare workers it is in our code of ethics to not only protect our patients’ but prevent harm.

That includes preparing for the presence of ICE, CBP, and homeland security in hospital settings when hospital “protocols” fall short.
