Today I told my neighbor from Paraguay that everything will be okay, after she cried from reading about ICE in the news. (slrpnk.net)

I can't see the meme for some reason, but on the subject of ICE raids. I no longer live in the States, but have a friend back home who was sort of illegal until maybe ten or so years back. I don't recall all the details, but his parents were illegal, and while he was born here, he wasn't yet registered or something fucky like that. He did attend public schools, so I don't know what the implication is there. His legality is supposed to be all sorted out now.

Anyway. Biggest sweetheart on the planet. Very shy, but all smiles. Now he has a wife (also Mexican) and three kids, and appears to be living a happy life, but I'm nervously waiting for the day they just stop posting. Sometimes I want to reach out privately and ask him if they're safe and have a good community, but I worry Facebook will just funnel that conversation to ICE and throw him and his children into Guantanemo Bay.

What a fucked up reality we're seeing here.

The implication depends strongly on where it was.

Some states choose to specifically not consider immigration status on the grounds that every child deserves and education, regardless of what paperwork their parents filled out or didn’t
Some states “save money” by just not doing legwork
all too many states are looking for reasons to screw people over

Here's the meme. It wouldn't initially load for me, either, but I went out found it based on the thumbnail.

Thank you! Over on Lemmy world via jerboa I didn't even get a thumbnail

Incidentally, I think this post from an admin detailing some recent tech problems with slrpnk might explain the difficulty.
