The MMA, along with several other physician advocacy groups, sent a letter to the Minnesota Congressional Delegation urging Congress on Feb. 5, as a condition of ongoing funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to restrict U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) activities in or near healthcare facilities and other sensitive locations, and to hold DHS accountable for ensuring that detainees are provided with appropriate medical care, food, water, and other basic human needs.

“Since the start of ‘Operation Metro Surge’, we have received troubling reports of ICE and CBP enforcement activity in and near hospitals, clinics, and schools,” the letter said. “This activity is, understandably, having a negative impact on the health and safety of your fellow Minnesotans.”
