Students & teachers are heading back to school—but many are carrying the fear of immigration enforcement with them. We partnered with NYU's Sophia Rodriguez, who interviewed teachers in 14 states & our findings are clear: mass deportations are traumatizing students and destabilizing schools.🧵⤵️

Pierre should be here. He should be starting college. Playing soccer. Studying neuroscience. Building the future he came to this country to pursue. Youth should not have to carry fear, stigma, & isolation alone. They deserve communities and systems that protect their safety, futures, & dignity.

Because of your care for immigrant kids, the federal govt received THOUSANDS of public comments. Now the govt must review and consider every comment as part of the rulemaking process. TY for raising your voice to protect our kids! #LetKidsThrive

The end of funding for legal representation of unaccompanied children means that many children are not celebrating back-to-school season. We call on Congress to restore funding. All children deserve to learn, play, and attend school. Visit tinyurl.com/protect-kids.

In just one week, we witnessed a one yr old stand alone in immigration court, another one yr old deported to Haiti, and a 5 year old jailed and deported. While families struggle with rising costs, why is the White House waging war on our babies? #LetKidsThrive #AllChildrenBelong

Thank you to @brucelesley.bsky.social at @firstfocus.bsky.social for this great commentary on the Trump admin's latest attack on babies/unborn children. "Apply the One Question — “is it good for the children?” — and the first executive order fails immediately, on its own terms."

[1] The Trump Administration has created a nationwide crisis for children by un-documenting, arresting, detaining, and deporting their parents, and ongoing attacks on TPS and DACA have created instability for families. A discharge petition can change that. This discharge petition can change that.
