They explain how hospitals often apply blanket forensic patient policies—originally designed for dangerous incarcerated individuals—to immigrant patients who may pose no threat, resulting in harmful practices like shackling, privacy violations, and barriers to proper medical care.

]]> In this special anniversary episode of Unsettled: Migrant Health in the U.S., we honor the memory of Dr. Bernard P. Dreyer, a passionate advocate for migrant justice. In his memory, we are re-releasing one of our most powerful past episodes — a conversation that captures the urgency and humanity he championed.


Exploring the harsh realities faced by migrants, especially children, during their journeys to the United States and in their attempts to establish residence, we navigate the trials and triumphs in providing health care for the newest populations seeking asylum in the US.
