John Doyle injects a bit of personal history in describing the actions of four United States district judges and our present Secretary of State. These individuals have separately acted to affirm the rights of immigrants and citizens to the full protection of the guarantees spelled out in the Bill of Rights to the Constitution.

The heavy hand and violence of ICE agents in addressing immigrants contrasts with the more humane approach put in place during the Biden administration. Neal Barkus details how the Trump administration has taken a sledge hammer to all immigrants, even those who are here legally and who have always been law abiding and productive members of our communities. Our Constitution makes provisions for immigrants and children of immigrants born here. ICE is daily violating these provisions and it is betraying the promise of America as a compassionate land..

On December 5, 2024 ICE made one of its raids on two Mexican restaurants in Jefferson County. They tagged along with a US Marshalls team and disrupted a dinner hour for local residents, a raid that including pepper spraying. It didn't matter to ICE that customers were "in the way." These kinds of tactics have to be loudly called out as dangerous and very likely illegal, all for the sake of arresting and deporting cooks and wait staff serving our community. Is this insult to our community going to be commonplace in our future?
