My statement for today's Butler County Commissioner meeting calling on them to end their contract with ICE.
Hello, my name is Kevin Reuning, I live in Oxford, Ohio. I’m asking you today to reconsider Butler County’s relationship with ICE, especially the contract to house detainees in Butler County jails. There is an old union song with a simple question: which side are you on? This question is still relevant today, and is relevant as you consider ending the contract with ICE. So which side are you on? Are you on the side of a broken immigration system, or are you on the side of an American dream where hard work can create opportunities for anyone? Are you on the side of a sheriff who spends his time making AI videos of himself as a buff bounty hunter or are you on the side of an Imam who fled a brutal regime and spends his time helping children face illness? Are you on the side of a federal agent who shoots a woman and then calls her an F***ing B*** or are you on the side of a woman who is afraid for her neighbors and tells that same agent “I’m not mad at you” moments before being shot? Are you on the side of a federal agency that posts memes about deporting 100 million people or are you on the side of the Haitians who did everything right to only be lied about and have their legal status stripped from them? Are you on the side of continuing working with an agency that doesn’t care about the damage they inflict, or are you on the side working to improve Butler county for everyone by making everyone safer? I know this is a politically hard decision for you all, but leadership is doing what is right even when it isn’t easy. Leadership is being on the right side even when there is risk involved. Thank you for your time.
