Nurse fired for posting videos in which she talked about targeting ICE agents with anesthetics, reports say

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT/Gray News) — A nurse in Virginia has been fired after she posted TikTok videos that were critical of federal immigration operations, according to reports.

In a statement, Virginia Commonwealth University Health said it was made aware of the videos Tuesday.

VCU Health called the videos “highly inappropriate” and said they “do not reflect the integrity or values of our health system.”

Later that day, VCU Health updated its statement to say the person was no longer employed.

Fox News identified the employee as a nurse. Her TikTok account has since been deleted.

In the videos, the nurse reportedly talked about different ways to target Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

She reportedly suggested medical providers carry syringes with an anesthetic in them to cause short-acting muscle paralysis in ICE agents. She also reportedly suggested putting poison ivy in a squirt gun to aim at ICE agents, among other things, she called “sabotage tactics.”

The nurse reportedly said her ideas were not meant to kill or seriously harm anyone, but she wanted to “make their lives miserable.”
