President Trump's recent policy change allows federal agents to arrest individuals at sensitive locations like schools and hospitals. This has led to anxiety among immigrant families, as many students may be affected. Schools are educating staff and families on how to respond to potential immigration enforcement actions. A notable incident in Chicago highlighted the chaos caused by even non-ICE agents attempting to conduct interviews with students. Parents have begun keeping their children home from school out of fear, illustrating the significant implications of the policy shift.
"We had an incident happen in Chicago... The school was confused and said, 'No, you cannot come in.' It turned out they were actually from the Secret Service."
"They're preparing for the possibility that things could be happening outside the school while families are dropping their children off or potentially waiting at their bus stop."
