We are deeply concerned about how these actions are impacting K-12 students, their families, and their communities,\u201dsaid the Members. \u201cThe chaotic manner in which raids and apprehensions are being carried out is injecting needless trauma into these communities, which then makes its way into schools and contributes to absenteeism.\u201d\n\nThe Trump Administration\u2019s immigration raids \u2014 including activity near schools\u2014 has traumatized kids, put new burdens on teachers and administrators, and dramatically altered the school year. The federal government does not release comprehensive data showing where arrests or detentions are taking place, but a Washington Post review of news reports found instances of parents arrested near campuses in at least 10 states in 2025.\n\nThe Members demanded the Department utilize all resources necessary to ensure that all students, regardless of their immigration status, can receive a safe, quality education.
