"In Minneapolis, I feel like I'm a sitting duck,"
"I don't feel safe at home. I don't feel safe at work. Kids aren't safe at school,"
"I was born in Minneapolis and I am scared out of my mind because I have skin that is not white and that is not fair."
"What happens when ICE comes into our hospitals? Where is our moral code?"
Nurses and community members in Minneapolis report pervasive fear as ICE presence and aggressive tactics escalate. Healthcare workers express concern for personal safety and for patients of color who may avoid seeking care regardless of immigration status, creating a potential public health emergency. Recent incidents include the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, reports of agents tear-gassing students, and ICE agents dragging workers out of a retail store, prompting school cancellations and public outrage. Major companies with local employees have been contacted but have not publicly addressed these enforcement impacts.
