“Nurses at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Tacoma [WA] say that since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term, they’ve seen many more ICE detainees come to the hospital as patients — always accompanied by two ICE agents acting as guards.
“The nurses allege that these agents have repeatedly ignored practices safeguarding patients’ privacy, health, and safety, including by refusing to leave detainees’ rooms during catheter changes, shackling a detainee so tightly to a bed they caused nerve damage to the person’s hand, and refusing to wear required masks and gowns in rooms where patients had communicable diseases.
“The nurses say they’ve asked hospital administrators to intervene, to no avail.”
… Wait. They won’t wear masks when asked to, but will all the rest of the time when asked not to? Wtf kind of logic is that? (I know, the fault is that I’m trying to apply logic, but I found that part of the infuriating scenario kind of funny)
Hypocrisy is a major tenant of conservatives. They are contrarian in all the worst ways - not the sometimes cool to buck trend ways, but in the I won’t do this simply because you told me to. Someone below me got it right… Some mix of ODD and never graduating beyond adolesence.
So in MN, we need some ice protestors with signs saying “thank you for masking” with a crossed out ‘COVID’ ?
This assumes they can read.
Just all turn up in surgical masks.
Wtf kind of logic is that?
I’m no geologist, but I’d venture that of the Terrible Twos or people with a contagious case of ODD.
Also known as acute and psychotic Republicanism.
Unlike conduct disorder (CD), those with ODD do not generally show patterns of aggression towards random people
I disagree. Maybe it’s conduct disorder instead
Oops, missed that. I agree.
can we not make up armchair diagnoses to justify people joining the stars and stripes gestapo
None of this is OK, but if they refuse to wear masks around TB patients then maybe the problem will sort itself out eventually…
Sure, right after they spread it around your city. Solid plan.
But these guys will mask up everywhere except the TB Ward. It’s like they are doing us all a favor.
No shit, the cruelty of these ignorant racist fucking ice agents isnt a bug…for the Nazis in charge it’s a feature
I think the bar is lower here like they should start with not emptying a full clip on random people
Don’t let the fact that this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one detract from the importance of reporting on it anyway.
