The article highlights the experiences of undocumented students in San Jose, capturing their daily struggles and fears in the face of changing immigration policies under the Trump administration. Many students feel vulnerable and uncertain about their futures, with school administrations offering vague assurances about protections. The tightening of immigration laws raises concerns among students who fear deportation and the separation from their families. Schools are taking steps to address these challenges, but uncertainty remains regarding the effectiveness of such measures as the threat of raids looms over their communities.
The school administration had a very general and vague message they shared with the student body about protecting student information, but they didn't list any specific actions they were taking to ensure students will be protected, which is something I would like to see more of.
The only thing separating 'illegal' and 'legal' immigrants is a piece of paper.
Now, with the Trump administration's efforts to ramp up deportations and end the policy that barred immigration authorities from entering 'sensitive' locations like schools and churches, that fear is only growing.
Schools in the Bay Area are scrambling to reassure students and reinforce protections - but many worry it's not enough.
