Commentary on Impacts of Intensified ICE Enforcement - LBC News

Published January 10, 2026

Alison Beckman, senior clinician for external relations, spoke on LBC News, UK about the impacts on clients of the militarization of immigration enforcement and the deadly shooting in Minneapolis. She spoke about why the flood of masked, armed officers making arrests brings back the kind of oppression clients fled. She commented, “We’ve had people who’ve been stable for quite some time who are suicidal again, who are not leaving their homes, who are absolutely terrified.”
