"A society is judged not only by how it enforces its laws, but also by whether it upholds its most basic obligations in moments of crisis. If we lose the commitment to treat the injured, regardless of who they are, we lose something essential. And once lost, it will not be easy to reclaim."

"The recent shooting in Minneapolis is so deeply disturbing, not only because a woman was killed, but also because after she was shot, a physician on the scene was prevented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from rendering aid.

As a trauma surgeon, I find that fact chilling."

~ Dr. Joseph V. Sakran

I'm a surgeon – and I've been shot. ICE denying Renee Good aid is inhumane.

I do not know if Renee Nicole Good could have been saved; no one can say with certainty. But she should have been given every possible chance.
