Is it too radical to believe that hospitals should be like churches? That they should be safe spaces where people can get what they went their for, health care? Instead a court decision has legitimized hospitals acting as ICE agents and Homeland Security.

Health care and immigration experts across the country have closely watched the court case in the sleepy, coastal town of Stuart. The hospital had cared for Jimenez, who was uninsured, for three years. But it was unable to find any nursing home to take him permanently because his immigration status meant the government would not reimburse his care.

600 children are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Obama administration demanding that the deportation of their parents be stopped. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the children, who are mostly Latino U.S. citizens, by Nora Sandigo CEO of American Fraternity, a pro immigrant organization based in Miami.
“Children continue to suffer by being separated from their parents because of deportations that the President may be able to suspend.” Sandigo asserted. She also explained that filing this law suit is not because she or these children are against him, but to use his authority and urge him to issue an executive order to stop the deportations, and adopt new immigration laws.
