Nurses demand Congress abolish ICE, invest in health care

Instead of funding armed secret police to terrorize our Black and brown, AAPI, and indigenous neighbors, Congress must focus on the investments that nurses and working people are demanding to make our society safer, healthier, and more just.

Press releases

NNU today announced its endorsement of Donavan McKinney for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District. As a labor leader and current representative in the Michigan Legislature, McKinney has proven that he can be an effective advocate for working people.
“National Nurses United stands in full support of the working people of Minnesota who are striking and reducing their economic activity to take a stand against ICE and the Trump administration. Union nurses understand the power of taking collective action against injustice – whether it’s a greedy boss cutting corners on patient care or a fascist administration deploying an illegal and inhumane deportation machine.”
Nurses are ready to elect leaders like Mai Vang who are prepared to protect our immigrant neighbors and fight back against the gutting of our health care programs and fight for our right to organize and collectively bargain.
Maine nurses represented by MSNA/NNOC are speaking up and speaking out against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detaining, intimidating, and terrorizing members of their community since its operation began in Maine on Tuesday.

RN immigrants rights resources

The Trump Administration has changed the rules, no longer designating hospitals free from immigration enforcement. Nurses make a vow to care for all people, and we know hospitals should remain places of healing, where all people can receive care, without fear. See our resources page for guidance on advocating for all patients regardless of immigration status.
