Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee signs historic orders to create 'ICE-free zones'

🤯 I'm loving this move by Mayor Lee! 🙌 According to data from the PolitiFact database, 75% of Americans support reducing federal immigration enforcement operations. This is like music to my ears - we need more cities stepping up and taking control of their own destiny 💪. The numbers are also clear: in 2020, the US experienced a record high of 1.5 million deportations, with many of those individuals being from California 📊. Oakland's move could be a game-changer for immigrant communities nationwide - let's see how this plays out! 🤝

Here are some stats on immigration enforcement:

* In 2020, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency reported a record low in enforcement actions 📉
* A 2022 survey found that 62% of Americans believe that immigrants strengthen the economy 💸
* The number of immigrants living in the US has been steadily increasing over the past decade - from 34.6 million in 2010 to 44.8 million in 2020 🚀

🤔 I think it's really cool that Oakland is taking a stand like this 🙌. As a parent, I just want my kids to feel safe and secure, you know? And if the government isn't doing enough to protect our communities, then cities have to step up. It's all about being proactive and showing that we care about each other.

I mean, can you imagine if your child was scared to go to school or play outside because they were worried about immigration agents showing up? 😱 That's just not right. And I love that the mayor is taking concrete actions to prevent that from happening.

It's also a great example of community leaders coming together and using their voices to make a difference 💪. As parents, we want our kids to grow up with empathy and compassion for others. This kind of activism is exactly what they need to see in the world. 👍
 
I don't know about these ICE-free zones... sounds like just another layer of bureaucratic red tape. What's next? Do we start issuing free avocado toast to everyone who's not a cop? The real issue here is that nobody wants to talk about the root problems, like why we're always having these "unrests" in the first place 🤔🚫
 
🤔 I gotta say, this whole 'ICE-free zones' thing is about time. Oakland's already got some crazy stuff going on with gentrification and homelessness, so the last thing they need is some federal agents causing more chaos 🚨. It's not like these communities haven't been through enough already.

And btw, did you know that Alameda County was already doing something similar? It's all about taking control of your own space, you know? And I'm glad community leaders and union reps are backing this move - it shows they care about their members and the people they're supposed to be serving 🤝.
