Recent changes in immigration policies under the Trump administration have raised concerns among vulnerable communities, particularly when it comes to enforcing rules in ‘sensitive locations’ such as schools, churches, and hospitals. In light of these changes, the Department of Homeland Security has emphasized the need to expand enforcement operations, leading to fears of increased risks for marginalized populations.
While some school districts in Delaware have implemented protective measures, others still rely on outdated policies that may not adequately address the current challenges. Margie Lopez-Waite, CEO of ASPIRA of Delaware, emphasized the importance of having clear procedures in place to handle requests from government agencies and ensure student safety.
As the debate continues, there is a growing call for statewide policies to provide consistency and protection for all students. Lopez-Waite urged state leaders to take action and implement measures that safeguard the rights of all students, regardless of their immigration status. In the face of uncertainty, it is crucial for schools to revisit their policies and take proactive steps to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
