Like the lawless Albemarle County Schools before them (and Mike Signer before them), Charlottesville City Schools (CCS) is mounting a resistance campaign to fight President Trump’s national security efforts.
A January 21 CCS newsletter brazenly proclaimed defiance of Homeland Security deportation plans via cooperation with “community partners” like Sin Barreras, a local immigrant “empowerment” group whose name translates to “no barriers.”
The missive falsely claims that “enforcement actions” are prohibited in schools; however, that policy has been rescinded by the Trump Administration.
Not surprisingly, no consideration is given to local citizens whose tax dollars are being spent for enforcement on the Federal side and evasion on the local side.
Discussions of funding cuts to institutions defying federal immigration law may get the attention of both Albemarle County and Charlottesville City schools, but until such implementation, lawlessness likely will prevail there.
Read the CCS proclamation of defiance:
We know many of you have concerns for your own families or for families you know and love. Department of Homeland Security guidance prohibits immigration enforcement actions in “protected areas,” including schools. We continue to follow this issue closely, and we have been checking in with area school divisions and community partners, including Sin Barreras. We are sharing information with potentially impacted families and communities as needed.
