immigration minneapolis Trump crackdown.

Doctors say immigrant patients are missing key medical appointments, afraid to come to medical clinics amid the Trump administration’s sweeping Minnesota immigration crackdown. They say that has resulted in everything from a diabetic scared to pick up insulin to a patient with a treatable wound that festered and required a trip to the intensive care unit. There are also the hospital staffers – from Latin America, Somalia, Myanmar and elsewhere – too frightened to come to work. At a state Capitol news conference in St. Paul on Tuesday, doctor after doctor told of patients suffering amid the clampdown. Dr. Roli Dwivedi, immediate past president of the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians, says: “Our places of healing are under siege.”
