This is so important:

[“I think these facilities are unfortunately afraid to stand up to ICE,” Sharp said. “They’re doing something called anticipatory obedience, where they’re complying in advance out of fear of consequences or retribution later. They’re actually doing the administration’s work for them without being asked.”

Sharp said the hospitals’ best line of defense is to exercise their rights prior to ICE entering the building. Without a judicial warrant, ICE agents are legally not allowed to enter hospital premises without permission. Those protections diminish once they’re in the building, however.

“Once you let them in, you can’t get them out,” Sharp said.]
