Physicians are voicing concerns for patients as thousands of federal officers have poured into the state.
Dr. Erin Stevens is the legislative chair for Minnesota's section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Stevens says that some patients are giving birth alone, while others are missing, canceling, or postponing prenatal care appointments.
