When ICE Brings You the Patient … 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...

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 community….. ICE cannot be retrained or reformed. It must be abolished.
