Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest

Amazingly, according to the article, the government personnel even call themselves the "Brownshirts". That's eerie on every level.

i'll give credence to the story as soon as a legitimate source has something on it. all i've seen is the fox story, and some sites repeating the fox story.
if fox said the sky was blue, i'd want it confirmed.

I actually don't necessarily question a lot of what is in the FOX article, because it seems to be a whole lotta nothing. I don't understand why these private contractors have their shorties in a bunch about not being allowed to bring in items that can take pictures to an Air Force base that is currently serving as a refugee camp filled with children. The last thing these kids need is their pictures plastered all over social media. It seems to be a gesture towards protecting the kids' privacy. A refugee camp is not a public place. I'm not allowed to take pictures of my son in swim class at the YMCA for the same reason. Protecting children's privacy.

So I couldn't figure out exactly what the article was railing against, other than it seemed to have a very strong bias against the children, which is pretty heartless.

That's a fair argument about the pictures but there is no reason the doctors and others shouldn't be allowed to talk about the types of diseases they are seeing and that type of thing.

Except that it could be violation of patients' right to privacy. HIPAA and all that.
