In February, Cincinnati City Council passed three motions related to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These motions prohibit ICE from using city property as a staging area, prohibiting the city from sharing data from city-owned surveillence technology, and directing city administration to remove instances where residents' citizenship or naturalization status are shared.
These motions came at a time when ICE was conducting a surge in metro areas like the Twin Cities.
On Cincinnati Edition, we speak with local and state officials about their view on what legislation related to cooperation with ICE is necessary in Ohio.
Then, we speak with the president of the Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education about a recent visit from Village of Gratis police officers claiming to be visiting on behalf of ICE.
Guests:
- Cincinnati City Council member Anna Albi
- Cincinnati City Council member Ryan James
- Ohio State Representative Josh Williams, R-Sylvania Township
- Brandon Craig, president, Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education
