The Arizona Human Rights Coalition has asked for the cooperation of the immigrant community to report the presence of Border Patrol agents in hospitals.

Kat Rodriguez, the spokesperson for the coalition, told Efe that they had seen an increase in complaints about the presence of Border Patrol agents in the emergency rooms and even maternity wards of hospitals in cities like Tucson.

“We’ve heard many stories and I myself have seen Border Patrol agents inside hospitals, in the parking lots, people who tell us that they don’t want to go to the hospital because immigration (agents are) there,” the activist said.
