MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — There was the pregnant woman who missed her medical checkup, afraid to visit a clinic during the Trump administration’s sweeping Minnesotaimmigration crackdown. A nurse found her at home, already in labor and just about to give birth.
There was the patient with kidney cancer who vanished without his medicine in immigration detention facilities. It took legal intervention for his medicine to be sent to him, though doctors are unsure if he’s been able to take it.
There was the diabetic afraid to pick up insulin, the patient with a treatable wound that festered and required a trip to the intensive care unit, and the hospital staffers — from Latin America, Somalia, Myanmar and elsewhere — too scared to come to work.
“Our places of healing are under siege,” Dr. Roli Dwivedi, past president of the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians, said Tuesday at a state Capitol news conference in St. Paul, where doctor after doctor told of patients suffering amid the clampdown.
For years, hospitals, schools and churches had been off-limits for immigration enforcement.
But a year ago, the Trump administration announced that federal immigration agencies could now make arrests in those facilities, ending a policy that had been in effect since 2011.
“I have been a practicing physician for more than 19 years here in Minnesota, and I have never seen this level of chaos and fear,” including at the height of the COVID-19 crisis, Dwivedi said.

If you are a criminal illegal alien then you should be afraid.
I think I see the problem.
EVERY ILLEGAL had an opportunity to return to their Homeland with $$$ in their pockets.
The democrats are the evil ones here and everywhere
Somalia calls.
How much money do we waste on illegals clogging up the emergency room every time they get a cold
Healthcare for Americans would improve, and be cheaper, if we didn’t have to worry about criminals using our resources — most likely for free.
OFFS! Paid off?
The one doctor was delinquent and bordering on misconduct by not visiting the illegal at her home ... where is his humanity. In the second case the doctor should have determined why the patient didn’t appear and should have rushed to his side to deliver the medicine... where is his humanity.
And immigrant doctors on H1B visa
?
I take my son to that clinic all the time. It is right next to MiniMogadishu in Minneaspolistan. The valet drivers are all somalians. There have been fewer of them lately. It takes awhile to get your car these days.
Good, fear drives results. Hopefully that fear will be constant and eventually drive them to cross the border on the way home.
If only we weren’t spending money on ICE, we could spend more on healthcare.
Which would go, of course, to paying for the healthcare of all those illegals that ICE isn’t deporting.
Some of the people with conditions like diabetes should be sent back home with medication and a prescription, and let their home country pay for their treatment from hereon in.
I don’t know why the pregnant mom about to pop didn’t go to the clinic. She was getting an anchor baby.
Boo hoo
Criminal invaders are afraid? Oh, my. Where’s my fainting couch? Who’s got the smelling salts?
They should self deport then.
Blah blah lie blah blah
