Ohio must not detain Spanish-speakers!

To: Rep. Newman, Gov. DeWine, Sen. Huffman

From: A constituent in West Milton, OH

March 22

Will this happen in Ohio? I’d it illegal to speak different languages now? According to the report, the three family members — a toddler, his mother and his grandmother — were shopping in Milwaukee when they were overheard speaking Spanish U.S. officials, possibly agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), detained all three soon after, refusing to listen to their protestations until they reached a government facility. A toddler, a mother, and a grandmother. Detained. Milwaukee is in Wisconsin and that is NOT too far away. Will you allow organizations like ICE to lock up Ohio and American citizens like this? What protections are you providing us? What plan do you have to make sure our most vulnerable aren’t deported? We want action! Stand up to ICE and Musk and Trump! For the people!
