California leaders are introducing a bill to protect immigrant families during deportation threats, emphasizing safeguarding school resources through student attendance.
The bill aims to prohibit police cooperation with ICE near schools, ensuring federal law on school admission is upheld regardless of immigration status.
Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond argue that increased enforcement negatively impacts Hispanic student attendance and, consequently, school funding.
This proposed measure also reinforces previous laws against immigration enforcement in schools, highlighting a consistent approach to protect students and their families.
