Immigrant students across the US have experienced increased bullying, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crackdowns causing declines in attendance and a culture of fear among immigrant students in public schools, according to a new survey of high school principals. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles's Institute for Democracy, Education and Access (Idea) conducted a nationally representative survey of more than 600 principals about the toll of raids and deportations, and how schools were responding.
City leaders are expected to rally Thursday in Lower Manhattan to demand the release of another New York City public school student who was detained by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
