It's time to start thinking about what our immigration system should look like when the current nightmare ends. This new framework is a great beginning. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/immig...

🚨 Episode of The Pitt, two #ICE agents bring a patient into the ER after a raid at her workplace. The show gets a lot right — but it also exposes the same gaps we see in real hospital policies today. 🔗 NEW HC Bioethics Forum essay, read https://bit.ly/3QieldO

Read this great piece by @bioethxmark.bsky.social about the recent #ICE plot line in "The Pitt." #Bioethics #Bioethx #Immigration #HealthCare

Fans of HBO's #ThePitt or anyone concerned about #ICE in our hospitals, may find my new essay engaging. www.thehastingscenter.org/what-the-pit...

"The Pitt" has not been shy about weaving political issues into its storylines Especially true for a recent episode on immigration enforcement in hospitals Great analysis -- and behind-the-scenes look -- from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-ic...

Article includes an interview with (and perspectives from) @bioethxmark.bsky.social from Loyola He's author of a new paper arguing that we need to update hospital policies that had been written for standard law enforcement, not ICE raids www.tandfonline.com/eprint/NKRJV...

Go make some good trouble today. 💚

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

My longtime friend, Dr. Thomas Fisher will be a great leader on Medicare for All and against gun violence. HE Will be a strong credible spokesperson calling out RFK Jr's misinformation. Let's elect him to Congress, my friends in IL-7! youtu.be/Cesv0zZ-6Yg?...

Immigrants have outpaced US-born Americans when it comes to starting a small business, accounting for 30% of all small-business growth. Immigrant-led businesses also employ nearly eight million Americans. When immigrants succeed, America succeeds 🇺🇸 americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/immigrants...

#NoKings rally in Oak Park, Il. Incredible turnout!

My colleagues Dr. Amy Blair, Dr. Monica Maalouf MD, FACP and I highlight 5 steps physicians and healthcare providers can take to support their immigrant patients. We hope this is of some assistance in our fear-ridden climate. #healthcare www.chausa.org/news-and-pub...

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.

Thank you Dr. @alyssaburgart.com for the opportunity to talk about immigrant patients & medicine on the hottest Substack in #bioethics. We discuss what it means to be in the healing professions in our current toxic climate, check it out! #immigration www.poppiesandpropofol.com/p/sanctuary-...

Join us. I love Substack but have never gone live on that platform before. Wish me luck! (11 am Pacific, 1 pm Central, 2 pm Eastern) open.substack.com/live-stream/...

TEACHABLE MOMENT Superman entered without inspection. This means that: A) He cannot get status by marrying Lois Lane. B) He is the victim of crimes, so U visa, but the wait is 15 (?) years(ish)! C) ICE will argue he is not eligible to even ask for bond. D) No DACA eligibility (it’s closed anyway)

Some state medical schools will no longer host a speaker like me who professes immigrants are people with human dignity because it might anger their state legislature. So, I now accept speaking invitations from student groups of any size. Disrupt the #spiralofsilence

NEW ACTION ALERT – Many unacceptable migration-related provisions were retained in the Senate’s version. Tell your member of Congress to address these provisions and to pursue meaningful immigration reform in their place. www.votervoice.net/JFI/Campaign...

#nokingsinamerica day in Oak Park, Illinois! Great, spirited turnout.

First a Mayor. Then a Congresswoman. Now a US Senator. Trump’s administration is trying to silence their opposition. Through threats & physical intimidation . It’s not American. We stand with Sen Padilla slate.com/news-and-pol...

The cuts to #Medicaid will endanger the health of those enrolled in the program, damage our hospitals and clinics, and hurt our communities. They jeopardize all of us. www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/medi...

Anything or anyone posting misinformation about the Pope will be immediately blocked from my social media feeds. Clearly there are those who wish to divide us by trying to persuade us that he engages in petty culture wars. Check your quotes, my friends. This is too important a moment. #PopeLeoIV

Huge turnout in Chicago for #Mayday rally for immigrant rights.

Join me on Friday! www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-annual...

“I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters.” Pope Francis, Letter 2/10/2025
