Urgent Plea to City Council

  • 🦇 A man in a Batman suit delivered an impassioned, profanity-laced speech to the Santa Clara City Council.
  • 🚨 The core of his message was a demand for the council to take action against the potential deployment of ICE at the upcoming Super Bowl.
  • ⚠️ He expressed disgust at the council's perceived inaction, stating that people are dying daily due to federal government overreach.

Demands for Policy and Action

  • 📝 The speaker urged the council to formalize policies ensuring no city resources are used for ICE operations.
  • 🛡️ He called for a clear affirmation that the city will not cooperate with ICE, to demonstrate they are not "cowards."
  • 📜 Policies should be put in writing to prevent city officers from cooperating with ICE or accessing city data.

Consequences of Inaction

  • 💔 The speaker warned that failure to act would make the council members "traitors" to the people they serve, regardless of legal status.
  • 🩸 He emphasized that inaction could lead to more deaths, citing instances of shootings, abductions, and children being used as bait.
  • 🗣️ Contrasting himself with previous speakers, he stated he was not begging but demanding action with a "semblance of a spine."
