Summary

Educators and advocates are concerned over reports that Donald Trump may revoke a 2011 rule barring ICE arrests in sensitive locations like schools.

The rule, created under Obama, shields undocumented students and families, who still have the right to public education per the 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyler v. Doe.

Fears of ICE in schools could deter enrollment, harm students’ mental health, and disrupt learning.

Some districts are preemptively passing resolutions to block ICE access without legal warrants, while others, especially in conservative states, appear more supportive of Trump’s policies.

    It starts with the non-citizen kids. Then the queer kids get put into conversion therapy camps.

    This seems like it might have worked years ago but I have not idea why schools even need to make resolutions as most I know won’t allow anyone in unless they have school business anymore.

      Yeah, but that minimum wage secretary at the front desk, isn’t going to stop gun toting ice agents from coming in.
