CASA has 3 bills up this week to help with feeling safe at school, prevent cops from working with ICE, and one other bill. Also if you see any ICE activity call 1-888-214-6016 to report they will try to give guidance etc.

Even if your kid is White or White-presenting, they will be emotionally impacted.

My school is suspending rollout of our cellphone lock up system in response to the anticipated ICE raids in our region. Parents won’t send their kids if they have no way to reach them if a raid starts.

Don't drag African Americans into this. We are not affected by this. So we are not "emotionally impacted", I guess just like whites, as you say.

You are delusional if you think there are not undocumented people of African descent. As my Ethiopian and Nigerian neighbors have learned, LEOs can’t tell the difference between us Black folks and don’t care. LEOS will throw their son on the ground or even shoot him the same way they will a kid who is ADOS. And I believe ICE will detain my ADOS son and daughter if they are with their African immigrant friends.

Ok ICE will assume anyone of any color can be illegal. I am not going around worried that they will target African American people more than white people per se. Undocumented people of African descent are not my concern.

If parents choose not to send their children to school for fear of deportation, that's their right. But that choice comes with its own consequences as well.

It's dangerous to entertain the idea that the school system should engage in obstruction of law enforcement.

Armed officers should not be entering a school unless there’s an active physical threat. Otherwise, their entering creates a new threat of confrontation that puts everyone at risk. You just never know when things are going to get out of hand. These sorts of raids should not be carried out at schools. I would not be comfortable with that as a parent.

He grew up in NYC and is still there. His extended family is huge. His mother and father have two kids born in South America and two kids born in US. They live in a NJ town that is pretty much all Latinos. I would guess the majority are illegal. It is the quietest, cleanest small city I’ve ever seen. They all work, no government benefits. They rent an apartment and unlike the kids in our upper middle class suburb none of them have ever been arrested or in trouble.

Go 30 minutes south and you will see ghettos of subsidized housing with garbage everywhere, graffiti, and useless men hanging on the street corners. American born, all of them.

I hope this government now full of outcast rejects can gather some common sense and leave families alone who have been here for 30 years, never been in trouble and are self sufficient. Many of them save for years and retire back where they were born anyway

And you know who to blame for this - Biden policies easing asylum. Your in-law have been here 27 years and worked hard with no government benefits. Democrats decided that anyone who asks for asylum is going to be able to stay and within 6 months work in the United States legally. In many states they came and got free housing, free food, free medical, etc. You don't see how unfair it is that criminal aliens and asylum scammers are jumping the line ahead of your in-laws?

Why should all of these asylum seekers jump in front of DACA recipients. The 530,000 DACA recipients are those who were brought to the United States as kids, have graduated from a United States High School or served in the military, and have a clear criminal record. Instead of legalizing the status of DACA Biden said campaigning the country can easily absorb 2 more million migrants so people flooded in who realized they could be takers. The City of New York spent $1.47 billion for asylum seeker shelter and services in FY 2023, with $438 million covered by the State. The City spent $3.75 billion in FY 2024, with $1.31 billion covered by the State.

And look at many of these recent asylum seekers getting "subsidized housing with garbage everywhere, graffiti, and useless men hanging on the street corners." Recent migrants all of them.

They live under the bridge. DCUM has attracted them recently.

Yes we know what immigrants think of African Americans--that we have squandered the American dreams, and is not fair that we are citizens so easily when you better people have to jump through hoops.

+1, maybe there will be a call to office to send so-so down but no ICE isn't going to be banging on the 2nd grade classroom door.

You’ve had 30 years to get legal documentation and failed. Sorry you’re still an illegal. Bye!

Pretty sure a person who has gone through the DACA program has already exhausted resources on how to get citizenship (And is probably stuck in some kind of bureaucratic limbo somewhere ) but thanks for your uniformed opinion internet immigration expert

At this point you’re a criminal and basically asking for it to get ugly if you’re still here. They’ve given you a choice and you chose this option so quit whining when you’re arrested and they ask if you want to take your kids with you. They aren’t playing and you’re an idiot if you think otherwise.

I think the trump administration is going to make a big show of deporting people and then they're just going to leave and come back in.

The warrant is because a school would fall under a private space under the Fourth amendment. Go back and read your Trump Constitution Bibles if you're not sure

Anonymous wrote:Stop the fear mongering. INS literally needed a signed warrant to leave the front office of the school. If there are there to “raid” they will have a warrant with the named individuals on it

They didn’t use a warrant in Trenton, NJ yesterday.

They detained US citizens, including a military veteran who showed them his military veteran ID.
