🚨 Episode of The Pitt, two #ICE agents bring a patient into the ER after a raid at her workplace. The show gets a lot right — but it also exposes the same gaps we see in real hospital policies today.

Read this great piece by @bioethxmark.bsky.social about the recent #ICE plot line in "The Pitt."

Fans of HBO's #ThePitt or anyone concerned about #ICE in our hospitals, may find my new essay engaging. www.thehastingscenter.org/what-the-pit...
"The Pitt" has not been shy about weaving political issues into its storylines
Especially true for a recent episode on immigration enforcement in hospitals
Great analysis -- and behind-the-scenes look -- from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-ic...
Article includes an interview with (and perspectives from) @bioethxmark.bsky.social from Loyola
He's author of a new paper arguing that we need to update hospital policies that had been written for standard law enforcement, not ICE raids www.tandfonline.com/eprint/NKRJV...
Go make some good trouble today. 💚
If you live in IL-7, tomorrow (3/17/2026) is our chance to bring about the change we so badly need. Join me in getting out and voting for Thomas Fisher, MD, MPH for Congress. @tfishermd.bsky.social #healthcare #GOTV

Hospitals are failing patients in #ICE custody due to their long-standing ethical failure in dealing with all "forensic patients". The current crisis provides an opportunity to rethink forensic patient policies to serve all patients better. #healthcare #immigration #bioethics doi.org/10.1080/1526...

6/8 A compassionate physician, accomplished academic, policy wonk, with vast political talent. A wonderful listener in a room of constituents - has a way of going to the heart of problems to address their concerns. He is truly a generational talent.
5/8 He also sees reversing the attacks on our environmental protections as key to the health and wealth of our nation. He has direct experience with sustainable environmental planning through his service on the Board of Directors of the Cook County Forest Preserve Foundation.
4/8 Raised by a physician father & a mother who was a social worker for Chicago Public Schools. He comes by his interests in health, education, and social justice honestly. My wife Kate, a public school reformer, was always impressed by his knowledge of the issues confronting public schools.
3/8 An ER MD & Prof of Emerg Med @UChicago for >2 decades, served in the Obama White House & worked on ACA. Authored a book The Emergency (2022) that details the trauma of the pandemic in his ER & explains how ordinary people are not well served by our system. He is running to change that system.
2/8 An ER physician who prioritizes health issues: Medicare for All, reducing gun violence, & fighting misinformation from RFK, Jr.’s HHS. As an accomplished physician, he will be a **credible national spokesperson on Day 1 in Congress** to fight against the dangers to our vulnerable children.

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse at the VA. He cared for his neighbors when they were sick and stood up with them against ICE. A healthcare worker who defends his community….. ICE cannot be retrained or reformed. It must be abolished.
