ICE enforcement in Minnesota creates healthcare crisis for immigrants

Immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota have affected vulnerable populations. ICE agents arrested a 58-year-old McDonald's worker; according to reports, agents mocked his son's attempt to deliver heart medication to the detained father. Pregnant immigrants have avoided prenatal care, and healthcare providers report cases of preterm premature rupture of membranes, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia going undetected. Healthcare providers report increased no-show rates and some patients resorting to home births instead of hospital care.
