"As I watch masked federal agents rip apart Minneapolis and the social fabric of our country, I wonder how we will recover. Pretti and Good were shot trying to protect their neighbors. But will the bridges that community leaders, college outreach programs and policymakers built between immigrant communities and their adoptive homes crumble under the weight of the federal government's crackdown?"
"The partnership also serves to build trust in mainstream medical services among Somali and Bangladeshi communities in the borough of Tower Hamlets. This work has ripple effects. These women and their families felt more integrated into the community and were more likely to seek help from public services in other areas of their lives, such as escaping domestic violence or accessing job support from the council."
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was killed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Minneapolis, and Renee Good was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Jan. 7. Both were shot while bearing witness to the harassment, raids and illegal detentions of immigrants. Masked federal agents' actions are tearing apart Minneapolis and straining social trust. Bridges built by community leaders, college outreach programs and policymakers between immigrant communities and their adoptive homes risk collapse under a federal crackdown. University-community partnerships that build trust in healthcare yield ripple effects, increasing integration and access to public services.
