What is UCLA Health doing about ICE in our hospital?
On June 24, ICE agents abducted a woman religious asylum seeker in the Westwood area and she went into convulsions as a result. ICE agents took the woman to the UCLA Ronald Reagan emergency room and were allowed into private treatment areas without a judicial warrant, in violation of UCLA policy. UCLA police were present and cleared the woman’s supporters from the waiting area, in violation of UCLA policy stating that UCLA police does not cooperate with ICE (for more information, click here).
On June 27, we joined UCLA Health staff, medical students, and AFSCME 3299, the union representing Patient Care Technical Workers, in a community rally to ask “What is UCLA Health doing about ICE in our hospital?”
