Concerns are rising among educators and immigration advocates that the Trump administration's potential revocation of a rule protecting sensitive locations like schools from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could put public school students and their families at risk. While the 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyler v. Doe, guaranteeing education for all children regardless of immigration status, would remain in place, the fear of ICE presence in schools could have a detrimental impact on immigrant communities.
Donald Trump ran for president largely on the promise that he would deport millions of undocumented immigrants ― and now, educators and immigration advocates are worried that he could put public school students and their families at risk of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Signoret doesn’t know how much of Trump’s rhetoric is just bluster, but he wanted to reassure any parents who might be fearful or hear rumors about ICE arrests at schools. The school district only requires a birth certificate to place the child in the right grade; a verification of address to make sure the student is in the right district; and vaccinations that are required by the state.
“I don’t think they want that visual of pulling a child crying or a parent out of a school on the six o’clock news,” Julie Sugarman, education analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan organization that focuses on data and analysis, told HuffPost.
