This is why you run for office. To stop shit like this from even making it this far.
For this one…
No, the measure was not passed—it was tabled (delayed) on an 8-7 vote.  The X post from Edward Dowd (June 25, 2026) shares a video from the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates meeting on May 21, 2026 (sometimes referenced around May 20). A local man (often called Andrew in related discussions) passionately spoke against a proposed county ordinance on immigration enforcement.  What the measure was The ordinance (“An Ordinance Ensuring Community Safety and Lawful Federal Immigration Enforcement”) aimed to: • Restrict ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activities on county property (e.g., no use of non-public areas like courthouses for enforcement, no staging areas). • Protect residents’ personal information. • Add transparency/reporting requirements. • Limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement in certain ways.  It was sponsored by several delegates and aligned with broader state efforts (like Massachusetts’ PROTECT Act and Gov. Healey’s Executive Order 650) to create more protections for immigrants and limit local involvement in federal enforcement.  Outcome After public comments (with strong opposition from some residents, including the man in the video, who expressed frustration over priorities, taxpayer burdens, and illegal immigration), the Assembly voted 8-7 to table/delay the final vote. This was to gather more information on operational impacts. It was not passed at that time.  • The county commissioners had already adopted a related executive order implementing state limits on ICE use of county property (in April 2026).  • The Assembly’s action postponed codifying it further into an ordinance. This fits the context of the video and post: the speaker was opposing what he saw as prioritizing non-citizens/illegal immigrants over locals, veterans, and taxpayers. The delay reflects division on the issue (nearly a tie). No reports indicate it passed later in a quick reversal. 
Thanks for the info.
It’s good to see his words had some impact in his county. I hope he has the same impact on other areas that might still be on the fence about this.
