‘Atrociously unsafe’: ICE contractor leaves gun unattended in Tacoma hospital bathroom

In a statement to KING 5, the Washington State Nurses Association condemned the incident, saying:

“We are appalled that an ICE contractor would leave a gun unattended in a hospital bathroom. That’s just plain dangerous — to the patients, the visitors, and the staff who work in the hospital. If we need further evidence that ICE doesn’t belong in our hospitals, this is it. People already are avoiding going to hospitals for needed care because they’re afraid of ICE. This atrociously unsafe incident just makes it worse.”
