"From Washington, D.C. to California, the return to school has been marred by the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been carrying out violent arrests outside public schools, despite the agency's acting director, Todd Lyons, stating that such operations would only be carried out under special circumstances or in urgent situations. Affected parents and guardians, as well as teachers and school administrators, have been quick to raise their voices in protest."
"The superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District one of the largest in the country with more than 500,000 students of whom 7,500 are without legal status Alberto Carvalho anticipated the situation and urged authorities not to carry out immigration enforcement activities within a two-block radius of schools, from one hour before the start of the school day until one hour after classes end."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have carried out arrests outside public schools from Washington, D.C. to California, creating fear among immigrant families. Local leaders urged a two-block buffer around schools and restricted hours to prevent enforcement during school times, warning against absenteeism. Enrollment declines hit Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with Broward losing 13,059 students compared with last year and Miami-Dade down by 11,379. A Stanford study found ICE raids increased student absences, including a 22% rise in California's Central Valley last semester. School administrators, parents, and teachers have protested the enforcement actions.
