US schools brace for potential deportation threats as Trump takes office

U.S. schools are preparing for potential deportation threats as President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Educators express concern that the rhetoric surrounding immigration could create fear among students, particularly those from immigrant families. Some districts are training staff to deny immigration agents access to school grounds. Others are working with immigration attorneys to help families create care plans for children in case of deportation. Historically, U.S. immigration officials have avoided making arrests at schools, but proposed changes to this policy have raised alarms. School officials emphasize the importance of ensuring all students feel safe and supported in their learning environments.
