The Trump administration's immigration crackdown is having a significant impact on healthcare across the nation, with doctors warning that the presence of federal agents in health care settings and the threat of immigration enforcement actions are creating a 'toxic' environment for patients and staff alike. The crackdown is causing fear among migrant patients who may be reluctant to seek medical care due to concerns about being deported or having their status reported.
