When ICE Brings You the Patient β¦ Hospitals Must Stop Victimizing Forensic Patients
Published in The American Journal of Bioethics (Vol. 26, No. 3, 2026)
Hospitals are failing patients in #ICE custody due to their long-standing ethical failure in dealing with all "forensic patients". The current crisis provides an opportunity to rethink forensic patient policies to serve all patients better. #healthcare #immigration #bioethics doi.org/10.1080/1526...

1/8 Friends who vote in IL- 7: I recommend Dr. Thomas Fisher to you for Congress & ask your vote. There are many good candidates among the 13 running to replace retiring Rep Danny Davis. But our district deserves a true national leader, a generational talent like Tom. @tfishermd.bsky.social

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse at the VA. He cared for his neighbors when they were sick and stood up with them against ICE. A healthcare worker who defends his communityβ¦.. ICE cannot be retrained or reformed. It must be abolished.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
