ELC and ACLU Share Guidance for Schools and Families Concerning Immigration Enforcement

Following the Trump Administration’s executive order rescinding the “sensitive locations” policy that barred Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting enforcement actions at schools, playgrounds, and bus stops, the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and the Education Law Center have shared a letter of guidance about interacting with ICE with Pennsylvania public school district superintendents and charter school CEOs.  The letter also contains a model “Welcoming Schools” template for adoption by school boards.

Our news release about the joint letter is here.

And here are slides from a presentation on these issues by ELC, ACLU-PA and HIAS-PA, and a recording of the presentation.
