“…Some executive orders have reduced access to due process and substantially expanded the number of immigrants prioritized for deportation or held in detention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] As stated by Morey, 2 immigration policy is, de facto, public health policy, with deportations and detentions serving as critical mechanisms via which anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric exacerbate existing racial and ethnic health disparities and violate public health principles. Deportations and detentions resulting in family separations may be particularly damaging to the 5.9 million children who are US citizens living with a family member who is undocumented.…”

“…16 Adolescents can perceive detentions and deportations as a function of broader environmental threats, such as structural racism, 20 and may experience family separation as a trauma associated not just with themselves, but also with the person detained or deported and other family members. 4 These threats to perceived safety and security can serve as an important social determinant of adolescent mental health problems and risk-taking behaviors. 1,2,9,11,16 Existing research, although not specifically associated with adolescents, informs the present investigation.…”

“…Even before the publication of this rule, there have been reports of immigrants avoiding health care for concern of being considered a public charge. 3 With the release of the rule, and the accompanying publicity, more immigrants are likely to avoid services because of concern about compromising their immigration status. Negative effects could reverberate beyond the population targeted by the regulation, due to complexity and confusion around precisely who will be affected, and in which programs.…”

the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed a change to immigration policy that would make receipt of certain public assistance, such as health coverage through Medicaid, grounds for denying immigrants lawful permanent residence in the United States. 1 The proposed policy applies to lawfully present immigrants who hope to become legal permanent residents as well as foreignborn persons seeking to move to the United States (eg, to be reunified with family members and to work), but not to asylees (persons in the United States or at a port of entry who cannot return to their country because of persecution) or refugees (persons outside of their country of nationality who cannot return to that country because of concerns about persecution).Requiring that persons not be a "public charge," a term used by US immigration officials for individuals considered likely to become primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, is not a new policy; it dates back to 1882. However, this policy has been previously interpreted primarily in terms of cash assistance.

“…5 The government's newfound approach to immigration enforcement at hospitals has made it even more difficult for undocumented immigrants to access the US health care system. 6 Many individuals already face problems obtaining quality health care due to poverty and other social determinants of health. Now increased concerns about discovery and fear of deportation further dissuade them from accessing services.…”

In July 2017, Jose de Jesus Martinez, an undocumented immigrant, wept at the bedside of his 16-yearold son Brandon, who was comatose in the intensive care unit of a San Antonio, Texas, hospital after being found in a parked unventilated trailer. Several agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) entered Brandon's hospital room and aggressively began questioning Jose. 1 The incident was just one in a recent trend of disturbing actions by ICE agents at or near hospitals and other health care facilities. In February 2017, Sara Beltran-Hernandez, a 26-year-old undocumented immigrant, was bound by her hands and feet and removed by wheelchair from a Fort Worth, Texas, hospital by ICE agents while she was awaiting emergency brain surgery. 2 In June 2017, ICE agents arrested Oscar Millan, a 37-year-old undocumented immigrant, on his way to pick up his newborn son who was recovering from surgery for pyloric stenosis at a Boston, Massachusetts, hospital. 3 In recent months, other undocumented workers injured on the job have been arrested at appointments in physicians' offices and detained by ICE after filing workers' compensation claims. 4 Stories like these have created justifiable concern by many undocumented immigrants who believe they will not be safe when visiting hospitals to receive care for themselves or their families.
