ICE arrest at Scranton Hospital

Last week ICE officials arrested a man who had fled from Honduras.  He had been taken to the emergency room of Geisinger Hospital in Scranton after a court appearance.  He had already served six months in an ICE facility.  This was not anything that Geisinger did–the agents had followed him to the hospital and stood outside the door.  The initial arrest took place when he dropped his daughter off at school.

ICE once had a policy of not arresting people in “sensitive” locations like courtrooms and medical facilities.  That policy has been changed.  

I think we all get the message.
