Incredible work by @kolyncheang.bsky.social and @stjbs.bsky.social showing how ICE has left millions to unpaid US healthcare providers and delayed necessary specialty care because of dangerous rhetoric.

NEW INVESTIGATION: My colleague @stjbs.bsky.social and I spent months reporting on how ICE has failed to pay medical providers for detainee care since October, causing what the agency called an "absolute emergency" and, by its own admission, endangering lives. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

For many years, ICE didn't have its own medical claims processing for detainees, running 3rd party medical bills through the VA's system. Last year, right-wing influencers convinced the Trump admin to abruptly cancel this contract. With no replacement, ICE specialized medical care has gone unpaid.

ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’ — my latest, w/ @kolyncheang.bsky.social. Spend some time with it www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

How does health care utilization vary among Black people with different legal statuses? LDI expert @jnwadiuko.bsky.social found that Black immigrants—especially those who are undocumented—have higher rates of uninsurance and are less likely to use certain types of care. https://bit.ly/4fRuxgR

When ICE tells you they’re targeting the worst of the worst, this is what they mean. ICE arrested Ameaka at BWI airport, and immediately moved her out of state to a GEO facility in Louisiana. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

What an incredible, shocking article.

Mamuka was not a public safety threat, may not have broken a single law, couldn't be deported, and shouldn't have been arrested. ICE forced taxpayers to pay $18,000 detaining him anyway.
