President Trump made a controversial decision to grant immigration officers the authority to apprehend individuals at locations including churches and schools. However, several school districts in Indiana expressed their disapproval of this measure.
Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) is dedicated to creating a secure, all-embracing, and hospitable atmosphere for every student and family, irrespective of their immigration status. As a result, IPS has compiled a range of resources specifically designed for “undocumented” individuals in Indiana.
The district has made it clear that ICE officers will not be permitted to enter schools without warrants. The district is committed to ensuring that officers adhere to the law in its entirety. Additionally, the district has taken the stance of not inquiring about or revealing individuals’ immigration status.
Fort Wayne Community Schools, along with other educational institutions, have made it clear to parents that they will not disclose anyone’s immigration status to authorities. Their primary aim is to create a sense of safety and inclusivity for students and their families within the school environment.
