Comments Dear Councilmembers
Today is my 43 birthday. For nearly half my life ICE as an agency didn’t exist. It was only founded in 2003 in the wake of the terror attacks as an excuse to “crack down” on those who are
different. Today legislation has passed giving ICE a larger budget than even our own Marines. And rather than a foreign enemy, or even a domestic one, it is being utilized as a terror organization in itself, one which seeks to cause pain and suffering for all immigrants regardless of whether they did things the “right” way or not. My great grandparents didn’t do things the “right” way because there was no right way back then. Facing the pogroms of Eastern Europe, discrimination because they were Jews, threats and acts of violence, they gathered all the money they could, came on a boat to Ellis Island, and after some time became citizens. It is
unconscionable to me that our government should use money to round up people based on skin color or nationality. Not content to find undocumented immigrants, this agency has kidnapped citizens and legal residents indiscriminately. We cannot stop what the federal government has ordered at the local level, but we cannot, we MUST NOT, aid them in their efforts. ICE has no place in our community and local PD has NO place protecting ICE officers, assisting them, and failing to 1 respond to residents who call police for help when confronted with masked armed men who fail to show any sort of
identification whatever
Thank you
