Doctors Fight to Save Sick Kids from Deportation | Nashville News
Description
Three Nashville doctors are fighting in court to protect medically fragile immigrant children from losing life-saving care due to a cruel deadline imposed by Tennessee’s immigration policy. Families risk deportation if they stay in the Children’s Special Services program past June 30 — a choice no parent should have to make. The doctors, backed by Siloam Health, are standing firm: kids deserve treatment, not threats. A Davidson County judge has temporarily extended protections, buying time as the case heads to court on July 10, 2026. Advocates believe lawmakers never meant for sick children to be denied care — and they’re hopeful for a fix that prioritizes health over politics.
