National Nurses United celebrates the release of fellow registered nurse, Amanda Trebach, yesterday evening without criminal charges. It is a great relief to know she is home. We thank all of our nurse members and community supporters for spreading the word and joining the efforts led by Unión del Barrio to bring her home.
“…people like Amanda Trebach – a RN and former member of California Nurses Association, an affiliate of National Nurses United – have taken up the essential role of monitoring ICE and Border Patrol, to protect the rights of community members and observe and document abductions by masked officers. While Amanda was participating in a community patrol Thursday morning, she was confronted by masked individuals believed to be ICE agents, pushed to the floor face-down, and violently detained. Her arrest is a direct and intentional attack against the constitutional right to protest.”
