We all knew about those issues, but it certainly got us riled up. A few hundred people who care deeply about healthcare can make a lot of noise. Fortunately, traffic and the neighbors didn't seem anything less than fully supportive of the noise, because basically we're all screwed here.
Then we had a local pro-immigrant group leader talk about the effect of DACA on nurses who are seeing colleagues threatened with deportation, or are threatened themselves.

Besides the needless personal tragedies caused by attacks on DACA, this affects every single person. One of the things I enjoyed most about medicine and research was the very diverse environment; my colleagues came from many countries and offered lots of different worthy perspectives. We already had a nursing shortage before we let Covid kill or disable a bunch of healthcare providers. Now the mutiny of preverts wants to deport what nurses we've got left, or chase them to Canada. Brilliant.
