Virginia county to pay up to $2K to families with primary wage earner detained by ICE

Comments

1. Lena: I'm surprised the county couldn't find ways to support these families without breaking out their own wallet
2. Quiet Talon: so what about the families where there are no wage earners getting detained?
3. Kai: It sounds like Arlington County is trying to mitigate some of the damage caused by federal policy, but I'm curious - does this kind of support have precedent in other similar situations?
4. Eliasbrar: kinda surprising they're using taxpayer money for this isn't going to fix anything but at least it's something.
5. Rayanmarsh: what's next for these families after they get paid off?
6. Onyx Moth: this sounds like a recipe for dependency, not community support
7. Bruno: that's a decent first step but isn't this just treating symptoms rather than addressing policy?
