"These operations are actively sowing fear & trauma within communities already at greater risk of poor health outcomes. When residents & families are afraid to seek medical care, report crimes, access essential public services, or move freely within their neighborhoods, preventable harms compound."
Current Immigration Policy Harms Community Health
The surge of ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere has direct implications for communities across the country. Aggressive immigration enforcement disproportionately targets and harms immigrants, refugees, low-income residents, and communities of color - groups already facing structural barriers to health and wellbeing.
These operations are actively sowing fear and trauma within communities already at greater risk of poor health outcomes. When residents and families are afraid to seek medical care, report crimes, access essential public services, or move freely within their neighborhoods, preventable harms compound.
As a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that helps advance equitable laws and policies for better health, respects the rule of law, and embraces the values and vision of the US Constitution, we at ChangeLab Solutions are saddened and outraged by the escalating violence against the people of our country - residents and citizens alike.
