Federal authorities arrest doctors campaigning to give migrants free flu vaccinationsThe Department of Homeland Security lashed out at the doctors on Tuesday, branding them 'radical political activists.' That is just ridiculous,these DOCTORS deserve better than that,i thought we were BETTER THAN THAT,WHAT A SHAME! Preventing medical treatment is a war crime. 'It is unclear what they were detained and cited for'...excellent journalism. Campaigning and protesting aren't things you get arrested for, so maybe they were getting rowdy, trespassing, or damaging property? Who knows? Not you, and not your readers. Investigate, be better.
