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

Responding to an escalating crisis of ICE violence, more than 150 registered nurse leaders from CNA/NNOC will march from the union’s headquarters in Oakland to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 27, to back several critical proposals to protect the community from ICE violence.
National Nurses United announced today that RNs are outraged and mobilizing to hold an entire week of ongoing candlelight vigils to not only honor and seek justice for the murder by federal immigration agents of fellow registered nurse Alex Pretti, but also to demand that the U.S. Senate and House vote no on any spending package that includes funding for ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies.
“The nation’s nurses, who make it their mission to care for and save human lives, are horrified and outraged that immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them. This time, they have executed one of our fellow nurses, Alex Pretti, who saved veterans’ lives as an intensive care unit RN for the Veterans Health Administration."
Registered nurses at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., overwhelmingly ratified a new three-year contract last night. The nurses, represented by CNA/NNU, won an agreement that prioritizes key issues, including expanding access to educational benefits, strengthening recruitment and long-term retention of RNs.

Organize with National Nurses United to improve workplace standards through collective bargaining, reform national health care legislation, and make a difference for you and your patients.

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.
