Jefferson County Public Schools are refusing to allow ICE agents, which enforce immigration law, into school facilities without a court order. JCPS have declared themselves a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants and are defying Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman. The goal of the new administration is to close loopholes that have allowed illegal immigrants to evade arrest in areas like schools and churches. However, immigration laws are vital for national security. By refusing to comply with federal law enforcement, JCPS is not only undermining security but also placing an undue financial burden on taxpayers. In the end, the lesson JCPS is teaching our kids is that following the law is optional this safety of our local communities secondary.
