The NAACP Bucks County Branch is outraged and unequivocally condemns the racist video recently shared by Donald Trump, depicting former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

The Trump Administration’s decision to drop its appeal in the school D.E.I. lawsuit is not just notable—it is telling. It reinforces what communities have long known: diversity, equity, and inclusion are lawful, necessary, and central to the promise of public education.

We strongly condemn the removal of the Slavery Exhibit from the President’s House. This action represents a blatant attempt to whitewash our nation’s history and erase the truth about President George Washington’s Philadelphia residence—and the enslaved people who lived, labored, and suffered there.

While the sheriff cannot unilaterally keep ICE out of Bucks County, what he can do—and has done—is refuse to use local deputies as an extension of federal immigration enforcement. Ending the involvement of 16 deputies is not symbolic; it removes a direct pathway for racial profiling, fear-based policing, and the erosion of community trust.

We demand that our elected leaders publicly condemn this illegal overreach and take immediate action to prevent enforcement of 287(g) in Bucks County
