Dr. Rubeliz Bolívar, a PGY-1 Emergency Medicine resident in South Texas, a physician serving a medically underserved community, was reportedly detained while traveling within the United States, despite having valid work authorization.

Let that sink in.

A frontline doctor, caring for some of the most vulnerable patients in the country, pulled away from her hospital, separated from her duty, and placed in detention, along with her young daughter.

This is not just an immigration issue. This is a public health crisis.

Her colleagues describe her as brilliant, dedicated, and deeply committed to her patients. In a region already struggling with physician shortages, her absence is not just a loss, it is a direct hit to patient care.

Hundreds of patients rely on her.
An already strained system depends on physicians like her.

And yet, she is behind bars.

If reports are accurate, she presented valid documentation, including a work permit and ongoing legal immigration processes, and was still detained.

This raises deeply troubling questions:

🔹 Are we now detaining legally authorized physicians serving underserved America?

What message does this send to the entire healthcare workforce, especially IMGs who form the backbone of care in such regions?

This cannot be normalized.

We call upon:

@AmerMedicalAssn
@acgme
American College of Emergency Physicians
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates

…to urgently intervene , advocate for due process, and ensure the immediate release of a physician who is actively serving the American people.

🔹 Healthcare workers are not expendable.
🔹 Underserved communities are not collateral damage.
🔹 Children should never be caught in the crossfire.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota.

The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen.

None of it mattered.

Why? Because he looked Latino.

When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.”

Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him.

This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American.

U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs.

And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter.

This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country.

When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?

BREAKING: ICE just tried to deport this woman, but there was just one problem — she was Native American.

You read that right: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency supposedly tasked with deporting undocumented immigrants — just tried to deport an Indigenous woman whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years.

Leticia Jacobo, a 24-year-old member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix — but that didn’t stop ICE from trying to ship her “back” to a country she doesn’t even belong to.
Here’s how this jaw-dropping injustice unfolded: Jacobo was sitting in a Polk County, Iowa jail after being booked for allegedly driving with a suspended license — nothing violent, nothing serious.
Her mother, Ericka Burns, was preparing to pick her up and bring her home when jail staff dropped a bombshell: “She’s not being released. ICE is coming to deport her.”

Her mom was stunned. “How can you deport her?” she asked. “She’s Native American!”
But the jail staff shrugged it off. They said they were “just holding her” for ICE. No one — not a single person — could explain how or why this was happening.

Jacobo’s family went into overdrive — calling, emailing, begging officials to stop what was about to become one of the most shameful bureaucratic blunders in modern history. They reached out to tribal leaders, shared pleas on Facebook, and even showed up at the jail with her birth certificate to prove she’s an American citizen.

And still, officials hesitated. Hours ticked by while ICE prepared to take her.

Finally, after an agonizing all-night standoff, she was released around 4:30 a.m. — barely.
And what’s ICE’s excuse? A “clerical error.”
Lt. Mark Chance from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office casually dismissed it as “human error.” Just a little mix-up, they said. The detainer was meant for someone else, and they just happened to attach it to the file of a Native American woman born on U.S. soil.

“We’ll have some meetings about it,” Chance said. “This is silly.”
Silly? This wasn’t “silly.” This was an attempted deportation of a woman whose people are the original inhabitants of this land, by a government agency that has no idea whose land it’s even on.

Let that sink in: the United States government almost deported an Indigenous woman from her own country.
This is what happens when an agency like ICE is given unchecked power — where “clerical errors” can destroy lives, and where systemic racism and dehumanization are written into the paperwork. If her family hadn’t fought like hell, Leticia Jacobo could have been vanished into ICE custody — another name lost in a broken, brutal system.

It’s time to abolish this corrupt and incompetent agency that can’t even tell the difference between an immigrant and an Indigenous citizen.
Because if ICE can come for Native Americans, they can come for anyone.

Please like and share if you’re as outraged by this as we are!

D’Angelo has passed away at 51 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

A founding father of neo-soul, his music redefined R&B intimate, spiritual, and unapologetically Black.
From Brown Sugar to Voodoo, he gave us art that breathed.

@Jacobtheclipper This is an incredibly insensitive thing to say at the moment. Everyone knows this; this type of rare occurrence (upper extremity DVT, not a soft tissue injury or bone fracture!) does not prove your point. Just seems like you’re pushing an agenda here, very distasteful
