Educators across the U.S. are preparing for potential disruptions as President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations. Concerns are rising that fear of immigration enforcement will keep immigrant children from attending school, similar to past experiences during Trump's first term. Superintendents are taking proactive measures, such as training staff to deny immigration agents access to schools. Some districts are also inviting immigration attorneys to help families plan for possible deportations, reflecting heightened anxiety among immigrant communities. While immigration officials have generally avoided schools for enforcement actions, proposed changes to existing policies could alter this approach. School leaders emphasize the importance of ensuring all students feel safe and supported, regardless of their immigration status.
