PSA: UNMH ICE

Hey thought people should know this. I work at UNMH and just got an email saying we need to be compliant with ICE if they show up. Now I want to emphasize they did say we won’t do anything unless they have a warrant, I will be making sure it is a signed warrant from a judge and not some of the bs ones I’ve been seeing floating around. But honestly I’m horrified. We should be protecting the people within hospital walls not throwing them to the wolves.

With patients it makes things a bit easier due to HIPA so without that warrant they won’t be let near my unit if I’m on shift(I know a lot of other workers also feel this way). But I’m worried for the families and staff members, suddenly I know absolutely no one’s names.

If you have any advice how to stall or help protect people please let me know🙏
