I'm sure you randomly pulled that photo of kids with the Superintendent from the district website, but it's pretty serendipitous that the young lady pictured right below his arm is a Mexican immigrant. I know this because I was her lunch lady when she arrived in the USA three years ago. She didn't know a word of English, but was so eager to learn and cultivate friendships with her peers. I always encouraged her, and when she returned to school after her first summer break, she was completely fluent in English! The thought of having our kids forcibly removed from our schools is just unconscionable. These are innocent children of adults who wanted their kids to have a better life in our beautiful country. I am angry and I am sad and I hope that our teachers and staff will protect our kids.
I believe there has to be a subpoena and even possibly a warrant before someone can be detained. The fact that sanctuaries can be taken away is the cruelty. Real people are being hunted down like animals, caged - and we know the young women / girls abused. Thank you for sharing the necessary true story of a little girl whose parents just wanted her to live in the "Land of Opportunity".
Back in August, I feel like Congressman Jamie Raskin said 'almost' the same thing. We are hearing that it's going to be up to the people. You always impress me, Rhana. I hate going back, but once the tyrants are in, it will be harder to get them out. All angles - even long shots - should have been taken to stop this while President Biden was still in office. Hopefully state's lawsuits will delay or STOP ICE, but not here in Florida.

This and many of the other Trump fiats are unconscionable. We need to start our own insurrection.

And DeSantis is right behind it. Not sure a school board meeting is going to change that. I wish.
