Are laws meant to serve the people or to arrest them to slavery?
Is a pandemic not a good enough reason to create exceptions?
More importantly, if this administration could create exceptions for tax filing, printing money and stopping evictions, why can't they do it for the health of schools and educators?
Laws are meant to serve the people. However I feel there is more to this story. We can’t just tell ICE to ignore the law. The law should be updated if necessary but as of now it’s the law.
Pandemic is a good reason for exceptions they can bring this up in immigration court. That’s what it’s for.
They should have changed the law way before ICE came don’t you think? Why is it a concern now? I feel like something isn’t being presented.
Why don't you apply the same logic to PPP program or eviction moratorium or tax returns?

Either you are being naive or more likely evasive. We elect lawmakers to make the right choices on our behalf, NOT to rigidly debate laws in emergencies. Selectively applying exceptions in one place while not at another (clearly marked by partisan politics) is NOT representative.
