To the editor: I used to be a board member for the Capistrano Unified Faculty District through the first Trump administration (“House Democrats demand briefing after immigration agents try to enter L.A. elementary schools,” April 14). Bullying of Latino college students and kids from Center Japanese areas shot up in our faculties. There was additionally concern that the Border Patrol may come onto campuses to deport households.
I requested our district’s attorneys what protections, if any, exist to forestall border brokers from coming into lecture rooms and eradicating kids. First, I realized that all children in the U.S. have a right to an education regardless of their family’s immigration status. Youngsters can’t be denied an schooling as a result of they or their mother and father are undocumented. I additionally realized that our district prohibits anybody from taking a toddler away from college who shouldn’t be licensed by the kid’s household or guardian. That is to forestall little one abduction and abuse.
Now the Trump administration has dismissed a long-standing coverage of stopping arrests in “delicate areas,” similar to faculties. But even so, immigration brokers should correctly determine themselves and can’t detain kids with no judicial warrant. These L.A. Unified principals have been proper to disclaim federal brokers entry to susceptible children with no warrant. Undocumented or not, kids have a proper to due course of on this nation.
