Educators have been rushing to keep students safe and support anxious parents, as fear of deportation ramps up

Summary

Trump’s immigration raids have sparked fear in schools across the U.S., leading to mass student absences, panic among parents, and increased community activism.

In cities like Chicago, teachers and social workers are providing emotional support and legal resources to families afraid to leave their homes.

Schools are coordinating safety plans, while advocacy groups distribute “Know Your Rights” materials.

Some educators warn that fear is disrupting learning environments, while undocumented parents prepare contingency plans for their children in case of deportation.
