Makhlouf for an article discussing the possibility of immigration arrests at hospitals and other formerly designated sensitive locations. “Hospitals Brace for Immigration Agents, Legal Clashes” explores the possible consequences of the Trump administration’s revocation of a longstanding directive to avoid immigration enforcement at health care sites, schools, and places of worship.
