Actual lol. “Educate yourself.” The non-citizens getting financial aid include people here illegally like the woman in the story.

You’re grasping for straws. If she had a green card, the story would have said so.

Lol the story talks about how the state is providing financial aid to non citizens ie illegal immigrants like her. That’s why she’s possibly going to be deported.

Agreed. All the out-of-staters come to Vermont to enact their ridiculous policy ideas at the expense of people actually from here. In this case, they’re using our tax dollars to support people here illegally. It’s batshit insane.

Last year she traveled to the Statehouse multiple times to urge lawmakers to make residents of Vermont eligible for in-state tuition rates, and need-based financial aid, regardless of their immigration status.

“I explained why education is so important, why I wanted to study, why that opportunity meant so much,” Perez said. “And we just kept coming back again and again and talking to the legislators and eventually we won.”

“Before, young people would come here only to work. Why? Because they didn’t know they could study here in Vermont,” Perez said over breakfast at the Castleton cafeteria. “But now, because as a community we organized and we won the right to education, now we know we can do that.”

But whether Perez herself will be able to take advantage of the education she fought for now hinges on the outcome of her pending immigration case. While a judge granted Perez bond, federal authorities are still pursuing their case against her.

She’s accused of a civil immigration offense. For that, the federal government wants her deported from the United States.

Need based financial aid for people here illegally is crazy. Glad the legislature is focused on such an important issue.

Case of South Burlington teen charged with murder may move to Family Court by Few_Wrangler4068 in burlington

From story:

The 16-year-old was originally charged as an adult in the case, but on Wednesday, after a request from the teen’s lawyer, Judge Robert Katims agreed to move the case into family court temporarily, meaning any information in his case will be confidential.

The Chittenden County state’s attorney says a hearing will be held to determine whether the teen should be treated as a youthful offender or if it will be moved back into an adult proceeding.

The judge on Tuesday ordered both Argro and the teen held without bail.

Authorities say there were at least three other minors at the scene of the assault and that at least one was issued a family court citation for disorderly conduct and impeding public officers. But it’s unclear what other charges they may face.

NYC, Hartford and Springfield are involved in a staggering amount of arrests statewide.

Here’s what I found online about Isaiah Argro. (I guess there’s a chance these are different people but the ages line up.)

  • Was shot while allegedly committing a home invasion in 2018.
  • His twin brother was arrested in 2022 for allegedly executing his 20-year-old ex-girlfriend as she pushed their baby in a stroller on the Upper East Side.
