Summary
In the U.S., immigration raids by ICE are increasingly disrupting children’s education, especially since the Trump administration lifted Biden-era restrictions on enforcement in “sensitive locations” like schools. Recent incidents in Los Angeles showed agents attempting to enter elementary schools under false pretenses.

Research by Stanford’s Thomas Dee found that raids in California’s Central Valley led to a 22% rise in student absenteeism, especially among younger students—a pattern now seen nationwide. Since many states fund schools based on attendance, these absences reduce resources for entire districts, compounding pandemic-era setbacks.

Students and educators have legal protections—schools cannot require immigration status for enrollment—and most American voters oppose raids in schools. The article calls for transparency and policies limiting ICE access to ensure schools remain safe havens where children can learn without fear.
