Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

1. Denver Public Schools Files Immediate Temporary Restraining Order on Sensitive Location Revocation On Jan. 21, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the rescission of immigration enforcement guidelines, which originated more than 30 years ago. Specifically, this policy restricted enforcement actions near sensitive locations, including schools. A DHS press release confirmed that the Acting DHS Secretary signed a directive on Jan. 20, revoking the Biden Administration’s policies regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations. On February 12, Denver Public Schools filed a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to immediately stop DHS from revoking sensitive location status for schools. This emergency filing comes after several ICE arrests took place in neighborhoods surrounding some of our schools last week, negatively impacting some DPS families and students. In a letter to the DPS community, Dr. Marrero shared that “DPS must operate according to our Shared Core Value of Students First. This value is a guiding principle that frames our every action and decision, ultimately pushing all members of Team DPS to do what’s right for our students, staff and families. To that end, I want to reassure our community that filing this TRO further signifies that DPS remains committed to providing the highest-quality education to our students and that schools will remain safe, welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environments for all. Our students belong in their schools and deserve to feel safe.” 2. SchoolChoice Closes on Feb. 18 at 4 p.m. Have you submitted your SchoolChoice application yet? Be sure to do it this weekend!
