ICE Arrest Leads to Stanford Hospital Stay; Advocates Rally
An East Palo Alto woman arrested by ICE on Monday, August 25, 2025, remained at Stanford Hospital the following day after suffering a medical emergency during the arrest, prompting concerns from local advocates and officials. The arrest, the first of its kind under the current federal administration, occurred when the woman was pulled from her car as she attempted to leave for work. Local advocates and an attorney attempted to ensure her health and allow family visitation, but were initially denied. Representatives and hospital staff were in communication in order to find a positive outcome.
