Emilia Sykes REFUSES to condemn Ohio sanctuary cities
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners, which includes Kevin Boyce, the husband of extreme Democrat Emilia Sykes, is vowing to create safe spaces for illegal migrants.
Sykes REFUSED to answer when asked if she agreed with her husband and the county commissioners’ absurd initiative.
Let’s not forget that Sykes wants to stymie U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to track down, apprehend and deport illegal aliens in Ohio and the country.
“Ohioans have been loud and clear that they are sick and tired of the Democrats’ dangerous open border agenda. Extreme Democrat Emilia Sykes must answer whether she agrees with this absurd initiative that will protect illegal immigrants and make Ohio communities less safe.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

Franklin County makes safe spaces for illegal aliens

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners, which includes the husband of a sitting congresswoman, is vowing to create safe spaces for residents “regardless of immigration status.”
The county, home to the Ohio Statehouse, posted a statement on its Facebook page, specifically vowing to help those worried about “interactions with government agencies.”
“We recognize that some members of our community may have concerns regarding their interactions with government agencies,” the board said in a Facebook post. “That’s why we want to reassure everyone that county facilities are open for all residents, regardless of immigration status, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, color, national origin, age, gender identity or expression, ancestry, familial status, military status, disability, or genetic information.”
Democrat Kevin Boyce, a former state treasurer and the husband of Democratic U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes, is a member of the Franklin County Board of Commissioners.
Sykes, a former state lawmaker from 2015 to 2022 and former Ohio House minority leader, was elected to Congress in 2022.
She currently serves in the 13th Congressional District, which is centered in Akron. Sykes won her initial congressional race and her 2024 re-election with slightly more than 50% of the ballots cast.
When asked by Ohio.news about the Franklin County policy, a spokesperson for Sykes did not comment.
However, Franklin County commissioners’ position probably isn’t shocking for Sykes, as Democrats in Ohio and nationwide have vowed to stymie U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to track down, apprehend and deport illegal aliens in Ohio and the country. Ohio has about six unofficial sanctuary cities.

While the county’s position may play well with liberals and in the Democratic-leaning enclave of Columbus, the virtue signaling on Facebook wasn’t met with universal praise.
“The citizens of Franklin County DEMAND that you honor your oaths to the Constitution & stop wasting taxpayer funds and services on non-citizens,” one commenter posted.
“What steps are you taking to actively protect residents?” another poster asked. “Or is a statement that you serve everyone the full extent of your advocacy? Because that’s worth exactly nothing.”
This week, ICE agents reportedly apprehended dozens of illegal aliens in Northeast Ohio. While reports were vague about those apprehended in Ohio, reports indicated that the efforts centered in and around Cleveland.
Reports of ICE activities in Ohio should be no surprise, as some Ohio officials have previously confirmed to Ohio.news they plan to help the Trump administration with deportations.
