Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint Mitchell posted a letter on immigration enforcement on January 24, 2025. Mitchell states that “If the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or any other non-local law enforcement agency requests access to a school, they must present appropriate legal justification and await approval from SCPS to protect the rights of our students and staff.”

Tom Homan recently stated that any local or state official obstructing immigration enforcement will be arrested. Since federal law supersedes state or local law, is Mitchell planning on obstructing federal agents? Is Mitchell planning on physically removing ICE agents from Spotsylvania County Schools? Why does Mitchell think that a federal agency needs his permission before entering a school? If Mitchell follows through with this, get ready for the popcorn.

Superintendent Clint Mitchell plans on making Spotsylvania County Schools a sanctuary school division with this letter he wrote. Mitchell is a disgrace putting illegal aliens ahead of the safety of citizens of Spotsylvania County. Look at the difference between the immediacy of this letter on immigration versus the no-reaction by Mitchell on the Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide charged with 11 counts of child sexual assault.
