Neighbor and immigration activist urges district to address local enforcement concerns
Summary
Rodrigo Antunez, a neighbor of Cicero East and Cook County attorney, told the board he was disappointed with the district—or its response to local immigration enforcement, saying the reality for parents, students and staff has changed since last year.
During the public-comment period, Rodrigo Antunez, identified as a neighbor of Cicero East, longtime immigration activist and Cook County attorney, told the board he was disappointed in the district's response to local immigration enforcement and said conditions for parents, students and staff differ from a year ago. The minutes record his criticism but do not include a board response in open session.
The complaint came after the superintendent noted the district had released a community well-being statement regarding immigration and thanked staff for support of all students regardless of immigration status. The public comment was recorded on the Oct. 8 agenda; the board did not take formal action in response during the same meeting.
