Kim Kasabian of Lake Oswego holds a sign at a demonstration in Dawson Park, across the street from Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, in protest of the hospital working with ICE to treat detainees they harm during arrests in Portland, Ore., on Jan. 9, 2026. “I’m very supportive of doctors, nurses and healthcare workers in general, and seeing Legacy Emanuel essentially encourage or coerce healthcare workers into breaking the Hippocratic oath and HIPAA violation is all the reason I need to be here. It is not okay,” said Kasabian.
