Andrew and I both published what is likely to be our final analyses of the short-lived saga of a school district in rural Oklahoma that accidentally signed up for ICE’s 287(g) program.
Today we sat down together on Substack Live for one final discussion about what we still don’t know, the lessons we learned over the past week and a half, and why it’s so important to carefully monitor these immigration enforcement policies, especially when the agency itself is not committed to meaningful oversight and transparency.
We never would’ve known about this peculiar situation if it wasn’t for Andrew’s rigorous monitoring of the 287(g) program. huge thank you to him for his work. I also want to say thank you to the reporters and anonymous tips that helped us sort this out to the best of our ability. Please take a look at our respective posts below for more information and links to resource resources.
I am sure this isn’t the last time we will have to dig in to a strange question about local participation into federal immigration enforcement policies. If you have any information you’d like to share about local participation in federal immigration enforcement, let me know in the comments or feel free to send Andrew or me a message.
