‘We need help’: Chicago medical students are serving the migrants Texas is sending by bus – The Guardian

The condition of these sick and injured asylum seekers has left medical volunteers in Chicago shocked – both because they were put on buses sick and injured in the first place, and that relieving their suffering often falls to young medical students. “We are happy to do this work [because] there’s no one else to do it,” said Sara Izquierdo, a second-year medical student from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine and one of the founders of Chicago’s Mobile Migrant Health Team, who in effect act as first responders.
