[FRIAM] Wow! He did Good!

[Nick Thompson]

Merle, 

 

Hence my suggestion that the City may need support from a wider community sometime in the near future.

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.

If this gets ugly, Santa Fe might need your help.
