Stony Brook Medicine says ICE agents need a court order to access its facility.
The medical group says Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are not allowed access to the hospital patient care or medical record areas unless they have a warrant or subpoena.
The hospital says the warrants must be validated by the health system’s lawyers.
In addition, the hospital says they cannot make arrests or do searches and interrogations in the hospital.
Stony Brook University officials tell News 12 they are in the process of developing full guidance for campus facilities. They expect full guidance from the SUNY system in the coming weeks.
