"Staff and nurses at Legacy Emanuel hospital are sending out the alarm about how management are allegedly accommodating the evil plans of ICE agents, going against basic health practitioner codes of ethics. Multiple staff members told the Mercury that immigration enforcement officers have been bringing in several detainees each day-oftentimes as a result of violent ICE arrests. Moreover, Legacy reportedly allow these same officers to stay in the room while the victims are being treated, unnecessarily shackling patients to their beds,"
A monthly contribution is requested to support Portland's local journalism, arts coverage, event calendar, and hosted events, with donors framed as essential to continued operations. A wet and windy Monday is expected, with highs in the upper 50s and two-to-three inches of rain forecast through Friday. Staff and nurses at Legacy Emanuel hospital allege management accommodates ICE agents, bringing detainees for treatment, allowing officers to remain in rooms, shackling patients to beds, and listening to private clinical discussions, potentially violating HIPAA and medical ethics. Legacy management denies facilitating ICE actions. Protesters gathered outside downtown Portland's Apple store.
