'Immigration enforcement just took the woman under custody after grossly violating her privacy while in emergency treatment,' said Thomas Kennedy, the political director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition.

"I feel like the hospital should have taken strong action to protect the woman," he said.

In a statement on Twitter, United We Dream shared video of the incident, calling on followers to"call Aventura Hospital and DEMAND they tell CBP to leave the building and stop terrorizing the patients seeking care." are largely expected to avoid enforcement in"sensitive locations," such as schools and hospitals, barring extraordinary circumstances.

Just months ago, CBP faced scrutiny over its policies on accompanying detainees requiring medical treatment,that immigration officials were"obstructing medical care" at U.S. hospitals, clinics and other facilities.
