EMRA Supports the Continued Focus on Providing Unbiased, Comprehensive Care to All Patients Regardless of Documentation Status
January 28, 2026
We are concerned about immigration enforcement activity in and around emergency departments and its impact on patient care and medical training. Fear can delay or prevent patients from seeking care, putting health and safety at risk. These actions also disrupt the learning environment for trainees and interfere with the delivery of timely, ethical medical care.
Emergency departments should remain safe, trusted spaces for all patients. EMRA supports the continued focus on providing unbiased, comprehensive care to all patients regardless of documentation status.
