Episode Details

Franklin County, Ohio, quietly implemented a groundbreaking policy on February 26, 2025, banning ICE arrests at courthouses and their entrances. As someone living in a Republican-led state, I wasn’t expecting this kind of bold, people-first move. This episode explores how that policy works, how it compares to similar efforts in places like California and New York, and why even a local act like this can reignite hope for democracy and justice.
