“Targeting children at schools is deplorable, inhumane, and callous. We condemn these actions and commend the school staff that followed district protocol and protected the rights of our students. As educators, we must ensure that the rights of children are not infringed upon, that they do not face additional trauma, and that they are not ripped away from their communities. Children, regardless of immigration status, deserve schools and a country that is safe, welcoming, and full of opportunity.”
