Not OP but this is a pretty widely known thing, do you really need sources?  Here's a story about Chicago bur there's no reason to think this doesn't apply to MCPS too: https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/post/chicago-deportation-plans-fears-donald-trump-administration-ice-raids-impacting-little-village-businesses/15822610/[/quote]

It's even more "widely known"  that "they're eating the cats and dogs out there" an "Minneapolis  burned to the ground in 2020".

Every time you spread a rumor without cutting your source, you are contributing to this chaotic hellscape. [/quote]

It's not a rumor. Trump rescinded the "sensitive areas" put in place by Biden which means hospitals, churches, and schools are back on the table for enforcement actions[/quote]

NP. Right. Trump rescinded a Biden-era rule that disallowed ICE from engaging in arrests or enforcement at schools.

But before Biden passed that rule a few years ago, were ICE raids of schools common? Or did they ever happen? No. Because it doesn't make sense and could potentially violate other laws (all you need is ICE arresting one kid who actually has papers or is even a natural born citizen and you have a huge lawsuit on your hands).

I agree we should be concerned about what Trump is proposing, but rescinding a rule that is only a few years old (and which actually modified rules put in place under Obama, so presumably we are now reverting to Obama-era policy) is not the same thing as announcing a policy to start engaging in ICE raids on public elementary schools.

Take a freaking breath, folks. Talking about this in this way is actually a great way to scare people, even people with legal status, into keeping their kids out of school. Is that what you want? A bunch of Hispanic kids staying home from school because their parents have been told that at any moment, an ICE agent might show up to arrest them? Think.[/quote]
