Doctors are seeking to administer flu shots to detained migrant children at a San Ysidro detention facility
Marie DeLuca, an emergency medicine research fellow from New York City, was among those detained. She said the doctors and protesters did not get a chance to discuss with the federal officers the possibility of being allowed to provide vaccinations to children in U.S. immigration custody.
Tuesday’s protest in Chula Vista came a day after many of the same doctors and their supporters marched from Vista Terrace Neighborhood Park to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facility in San Ysidro, where they called on federal authorities to let them in or let the children out to participate in a free mobile clinic set up outside.
“Even though I’m not calm about any of this, I have to be fearless because people are dying at this point,” said Mendoza, shortly before he was taken into custody. “This is a consequence I’m willing to accept. I can’t live without doing this. I can’t sleep at night.”
