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.
