The #AAFP joins the AMA and other physician organizations in opposing immigration enforcement interference in health care facilities.
Enough, it's not acceptable for American citizens to be killed by Federal Agents for exercising their God-given and Constitutional Rights to protest their government. At best, these Federal immigration operations are a complete failure of coordination of acceptable public safety and law enforcement practices, training and leadership. At worst, it's a deliberate Federal intimidation and incitement of American citizens that's resulting in the murder of Americans. Again, enough is enough. The President should pause these operation.

I'm calling on Senators Fetterman & McCormick to stand up for working people and say NO.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits.
After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

Letting them expire means higher premiums and lost coverage for millions. #ProtectACA #ProtectPatients

A clear and present danger to America’s health
