| I’m talking about the Guatemalan who got caught by ICE and tons of students at Blair were protesting for him to be brought back |

| She’s still in Guatemala, last I heard. A Blair teacher visited her over the summer. |

My son was friends with her and knows the teacher who visited. |

Happy to use the funds for MCPS on kids who are US citizens.

Not all us citizens pay taxes. |

| The teacher went of her own accord. MCPS didn’t pay for her travel! |

And yet, if they are US citizens they should receive public education. There is no obligation to people who just show up. |

Just federal law |

| I suspect if ICE went though the halls of Blair it would be more than one student removed |

That's not true. According to SCOTUS, there is in fact an obligation with regards to K-12 education, regardless of immigration status. |

The point is that ICE would not "go through the halls of Blair" or any other MCPS high school because accessing the halls would require a judicial warrant naming a specific individual. We still have some semblance of rule of law around here. |

They could just hand out at the Mcdonalds across the street and have the same success |
