🎙️ Today’s Conversation
THIS HAS TO STOP! What specifically? The use of immigration enforcement as a political weapon and the fear it creates. I break down the lawsuit filed by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita against Indianapolis Public Schools, stemming from IPS refusing to allow ICE to remove a student from school without a judicial warrant.
I share how IPS’s newly proposed policy—protecting student data and guaranteeing equal access to education regardless of immigration status—effectively exposes the lawsuit as a political stunt rather than a legal necessity. Ultimately, my point is that actions like this aren’t about public safety or the law, but about manufacturing fear in families, students, and educators, with ripple effects that harm public education, local communities, and democratic participation itself.
