Minnesota Nurses Union Urges Members to Join Economic Blackout Against ICE Operations
Minnesota Nurses Union Urges Members to Join Economic Blackout Against ICE Operations

There are some people we’re just supposed to trust. No questions asked. We see a firefighter rushing into a burning building, a soldier in uniform, or a nurse at a hospital bedside, and we feel a sense of security. These are the people who run toward danger and dedicate their lives to serving others.

That trust is the glue that holds a civil society together. Without it, things fall apart—fast. But a corrosive ideology is seeping into our most respected institutions, pushed by radical union bosses who see these noble professions not as a sacred calling, but as a political weapon. They are poisoning the well, using the good name of their members to push a destructive agenda that hurts the very Americans they are sworn to protect.

The latest front in this war comes from, of all places, the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA). In a message to its members, the union made it crystal clear that its priorities have nothing to do with patient care and everything to do with radical politics.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“As nurses, you see the impact of fear every day. When people delay care or avoid hospitals altogether, outcomes worsen-not just for individual patients, but for public health as a whole. That reality is why nurses and healthcare workers cannot be silent or absent in moments like this,” the announcement continued.

Let’s translate that bureaucratic nonsense into plain English, shall we? The Minnesota Nurses Association is threatening the public. They are saying that unless we allow them to dictate federal immigration policy from their union headquarters, the health of Minnesotans will suffer. It’s a pathetic, dangerous form of blackmail, plain and simple. The union is using the health of sick Americans as a bargaining chip to force ICE out of their state.

A Betrayal of the Patient’s Trust

The union bosses are playing a slimy word game, claiming this isn’t a “work stoppage” while calling for an “economic blackout.” It’s a cowardly two-step, an attempt to have it both ways. They want the political chaos of a strike without any of the legal accountability that comes with it.

And don’t believe for a second this is a grassroots movement of caring nurses. This is a top-down mandate. As one brave nurse told Alpha News, “MNA & SEIU are as bad as the teachers unions, we are mandated to pay them dues and then they finance their political agenda with it.” And that, right there, is the rotten core of so many modern unions: dues are ripped from the paychecks of hardworking Americans and funneled directly into radical causes they would never support.

Who Put Unions in Charge of Our Borders?

I must have missed the election where we put nurses in charge of federal policy. Did you? The American people voted for a president with a clear mandate to enforce our laws and secure our border. The notion that a state-level nurses union in Minnesota has the authority to demand the expulsion of federal law enforcement is beyond arrogant; it’s delusional.

Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with patient care. This is about raw, naked power. It’s an attempt by the radical left to create a shadow government, one where their political tantrums override the will of the American voter and the rule of law.

Look, when you’re lying in a hospital bed, you expect the person in scrubs to be focused on your recovery, not on dismantling federal law enforcement. The MNA has betrayed that simple trust. It leaves us with a chilling question: What happens to a country when the people sworn to “do no harm” decide to dedicate themselves to a cause that does nothing but harm America?

Key Takeaways

  • A Minnesota nurses union is weaponizing its position to push a radical, open-borders agenda.
  • Union bosses are attempting to override federal law and the will of American voters.
  • The anti-ICE movement provides cover for violent criminals who threaten our communities.
  • Forced union dues are funding political activism that many members themselves oppose.
