Recent events have highlighted a troubling trend among some healthcare workers who express a dangerous disdain for political opponents, particularly those involved with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Melinda encourages others to use poison ivy to create hostile environments for ICE agents by making water guns filled with poison ivy water, aiming at their faces. She even suggests that single women should use dating apps like Tinder or Hinge to attract ICE agents, with the aim of drugging them. “Bring some Ex-lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick,
