Educators are concerned about the impact of Donald Trump's immigration policies on students, particularly children of immigrants. During Trump's previous presidency, fears of immigration raids led to students avoiding school. School officials are preparing for potential disruptions as Trump has promised mass deportations. Many immigrant families are already feeling anxious, with children asking if they will be deported. School leaders are reassuring parents that their children are safe at school, despite the uncertainty surrounding immigration enforcement. Some districts are training staff to prevent immigration agents from entering schools. Trump's new administration may change policies regarding immigration enforcement near schools. While current guidelines protect sensitive locations, Trump's proposed changes could lead to increased fear among immigrant families, affecting school attendance and student well-being.
