Abstract

Given the recent expansion of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) jurisdiction to include previously protected areas, including hospitals, physicians are now more likely to encounter ICE officers. However, guidance from lawmakers, institutions, and professional societies on how to navigate these encounters is limited and, at times, contradictory. This column focuses on an interaction between ICE and psychiatry in an emergency setting to explore some challenges that individual physicians, particularly psychiatrists, may face when attempting to practice within legal constraints and ethical guidelines, highlighting the need for more robust guidance.

期刊介绍： Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
