In Southern California, many are skipping health care out of fear of ICE operations
LOS ANGELES – Missed childhood vaccinations. Skipped blood sugar checks. Medications abandoned at the pharmacy. These are among the health care disruptions providers have noticed since Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations began in Southern California earlier this month. Across the region, once-busy parks, shops and businesses have emptied as undocumented residents and their families hole up at home in fear. As rumors of immigration arrests have swirled around clinics and hospitals, many patients are also opting to skip chronic-care management visits as well as routine childhood check-ups. In response, local federally qualified health centers — institutions that receive federal funds and are required by law to provide primary care regardless of ability to pay — have been scrambling to organize virtual appointments, house calls and pharmacy deliveries to patients who no longer feel safe going out in public. 'We're just seeing a very frightening and chaotic environment that's making it extremely difficult to provide for the health care needs of our patients,' said Jim Mangia, president of St. John's Community Health, which offers medical, dental and mental health care to more than 100,000 low-income patients annually in Southern California. Prior to the raids, the system's network of clinics logged about a 9% no-show rate, Mangia said. In recent weeks, more than 30% of patients have canceled or failed to show. In response, the organization has launched a program called Healthcare Without Fear to provide virtual and home visits to patients concerned about the prospect of arrest. 'When we call patients back who missed their appointment and didn't call in, overwhelmingly, they're telling us they're not coming out because of ICE,' said Mangia, who estimates that 25% of the clinic's patient population is undocumented. 'People are missing some pretty substantial health care appointments.' A recent survey of patient no-shows at nonprofit health clinics across Los Angeles County found no universal trends across the 118 members of the Community Clinic Assn. of L.A. County, President Louise McCarthy said. Some clinics have seen a jump in missed appointments, while others have observed no change. The data do not indicate how many patients opted to convert scheduled in-person visits to telehealth so they wouldn't have to leave home, she noted. Patients have also expressed concerns that any usage of health services could make them targets. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shared the personal data of Medicaid enrollees with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including their immigration status. No specific enforcement actions have been directly linked to the data. 'The level of uncertainty and anxiety that is happening now is beyond the pale,' McCarthy said, for patients and staff alike. County-run L.A. General Medical Center issued a statement on Thursday refuting reports that federal authorities had carried out enforcement operations at the downtown trauma center. While no immigration-related arrests have been reported at county health facilities, 'the mere threat of immigration enforcement near any medical facility undermines public trust and jeopardizes community health,' the department said in a statement. Los Angeles County is among the providers working to extend in-home care options such as medication delivery and a nurse advice line for people reluctant to come in person. 'However, not all medical appointments or conditions can be addressed remotely,' a spokesperson said. 'We urge anyone in need of care not to delay.' Providers expressed concern that missing preventative care appointments could lead to emergencies that both threaten patients' lives and further stress public resources. Preventative care 'keeps our community at large healthy and benefits really everyone in Los Angeles,' said a staff member at a group of L.A. area clinics. He asked that his employer not be named for fear of drawing attention to their patient population. Neglecting care now, he said, 'is going to cost everybody more money in the long run.' A patient with hypertension who skips blood pressure monitoring appointments now may be more likely to be brought into an emergency room with a heart attack in the future, said Dr. Bukola Olusanya, a medical director at St. John's. 'If [people] can't get their medications, they can't do follow-ups. That means a chronic condition that has been managed and well-controlled is just going to deteriorate,' she said. 'We will see patients going to the ER more than they should be, rather than coming to primary care.' Providers are already seeing that shift. When a health team visited one diabetic patient recently at home, they found her blood sugar levels sky-high, Mangia said. She told the team she'd consumed nothing but tortillas and coffee in the previous five days rather than risk a trip to the grocery store. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Migrants Are Increasingly Avoiding Seeking Health Services, Fearing Deportation: 'That Will Put Me In Their Radar'
President Donald Trump's mass deportation operations have led migrants to be detained in mundane places: at restaurants, mass transit, and even immigration appointments. The raids have left migrants vulnerable and scared, with some even avoiding going to hospitals for fear of being detained, and later deported, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Across the country, doctors, nurses and social workers have reported growing concerns that people with serious medical conditions, including injuries, chronic illnesses and high-risk pregnancies, are forgoing medical care out of fear of being apprehended by immigration officials, a new report from The New York Times reveals. For instance, Emily Borghard, a social worker who hands out supplies to the homeless through her nonprofit, recently found a man laying on a New York City sidewalk with a gunshot wound. When she found him, she tried to call 911, but the man begged her "no, no, no," and not to make the call. "He said, 'If I go to the emergency department, that will put me on their radar'," she recalled in an interview with the Times. The man's concerns came despite federal law requiring hospitals to treat patients, regardless of immigration status. Likewise, Jim Mangia, president of St. John's Community Health Network in Los Angeles , described one patient with diabetes who stopped showing up for a weekly diabetes education class. When a clinic staff called the woman, they discovered she was afraid to even go to the grocery store, and had been subsisting for days on tortillas and coffee, he said. "Thank God we reached her and she came in," said Mangia, whose network serves an estimated 25,000 undocumented patients across more than 20 locations. Tests at the clinic showed that her blood sugar had become dangerously high. "That's what we're going to see more and more of," Mangia said. "It kind of breaks my heart to talk about it." But the man is not the only one facing these concerns. In a recent survey conducted by KFF , a health policy research organization, 31% of immigrants said that worries about immigration status— their own or that of a family member— were negatively affecting their health. About 20% of all immigrants surveyed said they were struggling with their eating and sleeping; 31% reported worsened stress and anxiety. Doctors say that the drop in migrant care is apparent. For instance, Dr. Amy Zeidan, an emergency room physician in Atlanta, said that requests for Spanish-language interpretation in her hospital's emergency department have fallen more than 60% from January to February. If the trend continues, health care officials say, the list of consequences could be long: infectious diseases circulating unnecessarily; worsening health care costs because of untreated chronic illnesses; and dangerous birth complications for women who wait too long to seek help, among others. Research also shows that immigration crackdowns are linked with poorer birth outcomes and mental health status, lapses in care, and fewer people accessing the types of public programs that reduce illness and poverty overall. "We're really creating not just very serious health risks , but economic risks in the long run for our country," Julie Linton, a pediatrician and member of the committee on federal government affairs for the American Academy of Pediatrics, told The Times. "These policies are creating very real fear and uncertainty for people and have a tremendous impact on their ability to function on a day-to-day level." The Trump administration quickly dismantled a previous law that prevented undocumented migrants from being arrested at sensitive locations like schools, churches and hospitals when he returned to the White House, making these concerns even more real. The move reversed guidance that had been in place for over a decade that sought to provide some protections to the vulnerable community. "This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens— including murderers and rapists— who have illegally come into our country. Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America's schools and churches to avoid arrest," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement back in January.
