The first day of school in Miami-Dade County has teachers, parents, and principals concerned about the recent shift in immigration policy that rescinds protections for schools. The Trump administration's decision to allow enforcement in sensitive locations has led schools in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to remind staff about the importance of safeguarding student information. The district has provided resources to support immigrant families amidst the fear of potential raids, reflecting the uncertainty in the community regarding the implications of these new policies on students.
"Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America's schools and churches to avoid arrest," a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said.
"The fear is real," said Miami-Dade School Board Member Luisa Santos, who recalled attending school as an undocumented student and carrying around a 'Know your rights' card.
