VCU Health Investigates Employee's Inappropriate Behavior Towards ICE Agents
VCU Health and VCU Police are currently investigating a series of videos featuring an employee suggesting harmful actions towards ICE agents. The employee proposed using syringes filled with saline or succinylcholine to deter ICE agents and recommended spraying poison ivy water on them. Additionally, she advised single women to drug ICE agents by lacing their drinks with Ex-Lax. The employee has been placed on leave pending the investigation.
The videos were shared on social media platforms, prompting VCU Health to take action and launch an investigation into the employee's behavior. The content of the videos was deemed inappropriate and not reflective of the values of the health system. VCU Police are assisting in the investigation, and the employee is currently on administrative leave and will not be interacting with patients during this time.
The Libs of TikTok account, described as a 'far-right social media account', called for the immediate termination of the employee, revocation of her license, and potential legal consequences. This incident follows previous controversies involving social media posts from individuals in positions of authority, such as the resignation of a Chesterfield School Board member after sharing controversial content.
As the investigation unfolds, VCU Health is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of all individuals seeking care at their facilities. The employee's actions are being taken seriously, and appropriate measures will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation. This is a developing story, and any additional information can be shared with the CBS 6 Newsroom.
