I taught HS kids for 20 years. I taught some kids who were illegal immigrants. Some who were legal immigrants, Some who were US citizens.
That kid is amazing -- true courage is when you do the right thing even when you are scared.

I have rarely seen a more courageous HS kid ever.

I hope the council listened.

That these warrantless raids are illegal and that they can stop them. They can stand up for the residents of their community. No warrant means no entry. No identification on these ICE thugs and the local law enforcement could arrest them for kidnapping or unlawful detainment. The council could pass a law requiring badges and identifications.

So powerful...
