In this episode of Unsettled: Migrant Health in the U.S., we are joined by Dr. Lisa Mattson, President of the Minnesota Medical Association, to discuss how immigration enforcement actions are impacting healthcare delivery in Minnesota. Dr. Mattson shares concerns about increased ICE presence in hospitals and clinics, reports of HIPAA violations and staff intimidation, and how fear of detention is leading some patients to avoid seeking care. We also explore how providers are adapting through home visits, virtual care, and clearer institutional protocols to protect patients and staff, and the broader role of organized medicine in advocating for patient rights and access to care.
