In Miami-Dade's school system, anxiety related to immigration enforcement has intensified following rumors of ICE officers targeting schools. A recent incident involving the deportation of a beloved teacher heightened these concerns among students, parents, and school officials. Despite no actual immigration raids taking place, school leaders and union representatives are addressing fears about safety and attendance. Students are showing increased apprehension about their undocumented peers, leading to absences and increased pressure on families regarding immigration documentation. School officials clarify that many fears stem from routine security procedures mistaken for immigration enforcement.
Because the anxiety level is so high, rumors spread like wildfire.
I know a lot of people at my school and friends outside are not documented.
