[FRIAM] Wow! He did Good!

[Merle Lefkoff]

Yep.  He's a comer.  Check all the boxes:  young, handsome, Hispanic, gay,
ambitious.  I was at the City Council meeting last night about the
Sanctuary City resolutions.  "Sanctuary City" doesn't protect anyone--it's
just a bandaid to make people feel better and less helpless.  ICE can move
in as soon as they have a name.  But what DOES help protect immigrants is
directly connected to the policing issue.  As soon as an undocumented
immigrant is arrested and booked-- there is no way to stop ICE from picking
them up--their names go immediately to the data base.  America is known for
arresting people of color at the drop of a hat, so the fact that Javier has
linked protection to how our local law enforcement behaves is really
important...it goes to the systemic level of intervention.  The city, like
all cities in the U.S. is broke, so it's both brave and foolish to face the
risk of losing federal dollars.
