Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

I live in Sackets Harbor and grew up in the Thousand Islands. I only just heard about this recently, and reading this statement brought me to tears, I couldn’t even finish reading it out loud. Third graders. Children. In handcuffs.

There was a massive protest in Sackets Harbor today, over a thousand people showed up to stand in support of these children. What’s happening is truly unconscionable.

jeremiahrappel.bsky.social•3 days ago

There were also people there with Trump signs and signs thanking ICE for taking these children and their mother. Truly evil shit.

I can't imagine someone being such a piece of shit that they'd celebrate little children being taken. I hope misery rains down on them forever.

7News bending over backwards to discredit the protestors suggesting rumors off a busload of people coming from NYC. Ridiculous.

Try and protect that lady if you can! She's new and the sackets board of education is filled with maga related to that farm. They've used their influence to push out people before.

Just got your email. Thank you

Unconscionable.

Homan is the portrait of an Nazi thug

God bless Principal Cook. I hope the presidents of our colleges and universities are reading this. Don’t be like Columbia. Be like Cook!

Can't wait to read it!

We need Amber Alerts for kids kidnapped by ICE.

Simply unacceptable.

The Hague awaits Homan.

Thank you for covering this! I learned this story from you. I am so angry and disgusted by deeply moved by Principal Cook and the reaction by the community in Sacketts Harbor.

Get some rest if you can good work

Anyone that doesn't express disgust at having Homan amongst them is suspect.

ckjohnsonbk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just read it. Thank you for writing it! Homan is such a crybully. There are a lot of hateful people in the Trump administration, but he’s top of my hate list.

My last job involved 12-1/2 hour sifts. 6am-6.30pm and 6pm-6.30am. At each shift change, we would say, Good Mornight. Seemed fitting.

Jaime Cook, in a statement, says, “Our 3 students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves... and were following the legal process. They are not criminals.”

In history another group were legal & got yellow stars to wear.

ICE needs to disappear not children.

Did you catch my response to your first posts about this? That number I posted is the mayors personal phone, which I was shocked to find (while looking for his office number). It’s publicly available on the city website. Not sure if you’d like to talk to him for your piece

iamashleystearns.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for staying on this frightening story! Homan says he wants to "retire" to his "nice town". I wonder what they had to say to him today? Guy will probably never be able to get a spit-free cup of coffee anywhere in that town for the rest of his hopefully short life, G_d willing.
