Last night, I joined the the Upper Darby School Board voted 8-0 calling on Congress to restore the protections of sensitive locations, like schools, from ICE raids. It isn't enough to trust DHS to go back to the status quo; schools must be safe from ICE.

We're working on a resolution at Upper Darby School Board calling for Congress to ban ICE at schools and other sensitive places. If you've got good contacts to share this message, please let me know! We do not have much time to signal how important this is to our communities.

From the American Conservative -- not one of these bullshit claims is true. Americans will not work hard, low wage jobs; immigrants do not overwhelm services but contribute to them; and national cohesion is undermined by right-wing racists trying to build a caste system.
