Michigan Nurse Chloe Freeman Prosecuted After Helping Patient Escape ICE

3 days ago by floofloof to c/news

A 33-year-old nurse near Detroit helped a man captured by Border Patrol walk out of a hospital and regain his freedom. We celebrate Chloe Freeman’s example. Drop the charge and reinstate her!

At least when I was a kid in Seattle we were taught about it in very positive (if somewhat sanitized) terms. I'd expect the Confederate states to be less excited about it.

It's not that long ago that "the War of Northern Aggression" was a thing, and there's plenty of people alive that physically fought against the Civil Rights Movement. We aren't nearly far enough away from slavery for me to give The South the benefit of the doubt.

Despite what you hear, in your own specific town, in your own specific school, you are a sample size of one - You can't just blanket claim that the American south has meaningfully progressed on behalf of all the fervent majority trump supporting states.

Also, "taught... In a positive way" is an extremely subjective assessment considering both the content itself and your recalling it from long memory. Many of us also thought we had the real version or the "right" version until we tried to actively learn the objective truth.

Legal support, sure. But in addition to being prosecuted, she was also fired:

Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. [...] This non-profit is the sixth largest U.S. hospital system, with 125,000 employees, and one of several Catholic Church affiliated systems that operate dozens of hospitals across broad swathes of the country.

So this aspect isn’t just legal, or local.

Having previously worked for the "Catholic" hospital system Ascension, FUCK Catholic hospital systems. We used to be a local system (several hospitals in one city) that provided top-notch, academic, and ethical care. The nuns would walk around and hold motherfuckers accountable. I watched everything degrade quickly after Ascension took over. The nuns left, and slowly everyone in leadership, who used to be experienced doctors, nurses, and social workers, were replaced by people whose only experience was in business.

We need more people like Chloe Freeman.

Freeman’s employer did not see it this way. When police questioned her (thus collaborating with ICE), she openly said that she disagreed with ICE separating immigrants from their families. Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. It is criminal that this and other hospital systems allow ICE and CBP agents to enter medical buildings.

You're just flat wrong though - the police do not have the right to enter a hospital beyond the public sections (generally, the waiting rooms) without a warrant or permission from the hospital. The hospital in this case gave the police that permission, and unless a statute exists in Michigan specifically allowing this (if one exists I haven't found it), they are absolutely at fault for doing so.

disagree, its actually literally not criminal. They dont get to just barge onto private property and do whatever they want. They need a warrant. And no one is required to help them in any way. Their mission is their problem, not anyone elses in a private healthcare setting. They can wait in the waiting room with their thumbs up their asses like everyone else.

This is a catholic hospital. Shame on the catholic church for collaborating with fascism. again.
