One major example is how Chicago Public Schools has a non-cooperation policy and a policy to refuse warrantless access to school property for ICE agents.

The school district also refuses to consider immigration status as a prerequisite to enrollment in the school system.

This is a huge deal since any state or local school district could decide to do the exact opposite.

This makes nearly every minor inaccessible to immigration enforcement officers during business hours.

Absolutely. Run for the HOA board, run for the school board, run for the town council. Write a letter. Show up to a town hall meeting. Everything makes a difference and people here are more than sufficiently qualified.

We have lots of software developers being laid off. An elected position serves as resume filler, too. You'd be shocked what a difference you can make when you try a little.

Ye I more or less got scared with how fast you gain real influence as a local politician by just showing up to some party meetings. I thought there would be a longer vetting period but it is like "oh you breath and don't cite opposing party lines too often we will nominate you for this and this and ...".

to add to this, if local governments refuse to install the hardware that the federal government wants to tap into, then there’s nothing for them to tap into.

It’s a lot harder for the federal government to go around placing all these tools around the country than it is for them to simply vacuum up what is already there.

If anybody wants to see the power of controlling local government and its upstream impact, look no further than mom’s for liberty and their assault on school boards nationwide.
