ICE raids in public schools
Apparently this is happening other places already. I’m the parent of a four year old boy with brown skin and I think I might start keeping a copy of his birth certificate in his backpack until I can get him a state ID
(I understand that’s not a secure place for a BC but identity theft would be a more manageable problem)
State ID cards and passports are available for your children. If you’re a parent and you can get them it might not be a bad idea. The rational part of my brain is saying that a preschool in Warwick is not on ICEs radar but when I look at the news I don’t see anything rational happening.
Edit: I don’t have a link. I was watching Tuesday’s daily show on democracy now this morning and heard something that sent me down this thought process. At this point in my very busy day I don’t remember exactly what was said and I don’t have time to go back and watch again. I’m not “fear mongering,” I’m afraid. To the people who I flared up at in the thread, I apologize. But I do think the same people who were putting kids in cages a few years ago will drag them out of schools if someone tells them to. Why wouldn’t they? And I think if they can show up and take someone away and everyone watching figures there must be a good reason then they can show up and take anyone. That’s scary.
