“It’s better to assume the NYPD is not trustworthy in general, but certainly on [cooperating with ICE],” she mentioned.
Sources mentioned many of the nurses on the call had been outraged by political organizers being introduced in who disparaged the NYPD — which has been supportive of them.

Her LinkedIn states she is “passionate about contributing to liberation through racial justice based and trans-affirming healthcare.”
Nurses on the call are combating for a truthful contract, but their union management is shamelessly bringing them anti-ICE, anti-cop programming. But it reveals how unions have launched pernicious radicalizing propaganda to their ranks and allowed it to fester.

On Monday, within the wake of the deadly capturing Pretti, the National Nurses United launched a assertion: “Nurses demand the immediate abolition of ICE.”
In response to a request for remark from The Post, the NYSNA despatched a hyperlink to a press release headlined: “Striking nurses demand ICE out of hospitals.”
Schlossberg declined to remark, whereas Nasrati and Hogan didn’t reply.
With harmful and partisan messaging like this, is it any marvel that two weeks in the past, NYPD plainclothes detectives had been reportedly hassled by the ER employees at NYU Langone Cobble Hill, who mistook them for ICE brokers?
Or why some healthcare suppliers have thought it prudent to take to social media and want hurt on ICE officers, or refuse to deal with Trump supporters.
Showing the lens Nasrati sees the world by means of, during her presentation she went on to clarify the Laken Riley Act, expressing disappointment for it gaining broad bipartisan help when it was voted into law final January.

“Laken Riley, as some of you might know, was a young woman who was tragically murdered by a person, who among many other identifiers, was an undocumented immigrant,” mentioned Nasrati.
“The Right really seized an opportunity to focus on one piece of the person’s identity and make it punitive for immigrants across the country.”
Laken’s killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, was an unlawful alien from Venezuela who had been arrested on the border in 2023 and marked for deportation, however — remarkably — was as an alternative let into the nation by lax border officers.
He was then arrested in New York City in 2023 and again ought to have been booted out of the nation, however was enabled by sanctuary legal guidelines to maneuver to Georgia, the place he violently murdered Riley, an harmless American girl out for a jog in February 2024.
Nasrati additionally conveniently omitted how Riley was a nursing pupil and, had she lived, might have been one of their colleagues as we speak. Or that Riley was removed from the one harmless American killed by an unlawful immigrant during the Biden administration.
Nasrati appeared more within the humanity and many “identifiers” of Ibarra — and how it impacts different people breaking the law in a nation the place they’ve no business being.
Instead, she exhibited a lack of respect for the people tasked with sustaining law and order in New York City.

While explaining the growth of ICE’s national price range underneath Trump, reportedly up to $85 billion, she shamelessly took a swipe on the NYPD.
“For context, NYPD’s budget is $14 billion, which is absurdly too high,” she mentioned.
All of this to healthcare employees merely combating for a truthful wage — many of whom, I’d enterprise to guess, are both married to or have cops of their household.
Nasrati additionally made her disdain for our nation’s founders equally identified.
“Of all the things the so-called founding fathers f—ked up, they were right that it’s messed up to have the government come into your house,” she mentioned.
It all begs the query: If this nation is so dangerous, why are people breaking the law to enter and stay right here? And why are all of these DSA lunatics making an attempt to stop these unlawful immigrants from being deported from this hell on earth?
Speaking of not belonging, these radical socialists had no place on these important briefings.
And the source mentioned rank and file members of the NYSNA are contemplating difficult union management, whose priorities don’t appear to be getting nurses a higher contract, however as an alternative collaborating in a political battle.
