Educators express concern over immigrant children's school attendance amid fears of deportation under Trump

Educators are concerned that fears of mass deportations under Donald Trump's potential second term will keep immigrant children from attending school. Many students are already anxious, asking if they will be deported, according to school officials. During Trump's first presidency, rumors of immigration raids caused panic in schools. Now, superintendents are preparing for possible enforcement actions, with some planning to train staff to prevent immigration agents from entering schools. Despite a policy that protects sensitive locations like schools from immigration enforcement, there are worries that this guidance may change. School districts are working to reassure families and maintain access to education for all students, regardless of immigration status.
