Rahm Emanuel, former mayor of Chicago, has proposed a plan to divert 20% of $38.3 billion the Trump administration plans to spend on ICE detention centers to community colleges. This move is part of Emanuel's strategy to get ahead of potential 2028 candidates with early policy proposals on AI, tech, and education. The proposal includes expanding the ability for high schoolers to earn college credits, making community college free for students who do well in high school, and encouraging local businesses to contribute to curricula and successful middle-class jobs.
