	"description": "The Trump Administration continues to push an aggressive immigration agenda that has intensified fear and instability in cities across the United States, including here in Columbus. With the mass deployment of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) communities are experiencing increased surveillance, raids, and deportations that tear families apart and further instill distrust in public institutions. With their mission of deporting millions by 2028, the Trump Administration is succeeding in its unconstitutional and forcible removal of immigrants, as seen in operations like Operation Buckeye, which resulted in the deportation of more than 200 immigrants. At the same time, local decisions are aiding these harms. In June of 2025, the Columbus City Council voted unanimously to approve the continued use of Flock Safety. Flock Safety is a private surveillance company that installs automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras throughout our communities. These cameras do not solely target suspected criminal activity, they collect data on every vehicle that passes, recording license plate numbers, timestamps, locations, and even distinguishing features such as bumper stickers or dents. While Flock claims that its data is controlled exclusively by local law enforcement and not shared directly with ICE. According to a Flock ICE statement, “Newly obtained audit logs show more than 1,400 searches were done on behalf of ICE in Colorado since June 2024.” This raises serious concerns about how surveillance infrastructure in Columbus could be used to amplify deportations and further harm immigrant communities. Despite the growing risks to community safety, the expansion of Flock’s surveillance network continues. The people of Columbus demand city leaders to call for an immediate halt to the expansion and use of Flock Safety’s ALPR systems in our communities. Let’s send a clear message: Central Ohioans are done being watched, tracked, and targeted. It’s time to put communities over cameras. Join us in the fight for Safety Not Surveillance!",
