It also addresses concerns about potential ICE raids violating student rights.
A memo sent to all superintendents in the state is offering some direction to school leaders if arrests of undocumented individuals were ever to impact Alabama) - A memo sent to all superintendents in the state is offering some direction to school leaders if arrests of undocumented individuals were ever to impact Alabama schools.
Many local education leaders have inquired about how possible actions to locate and detain certain illegal alien individuals might affect Alabama schools. First and foremost, to our knowledge, none of our schools have experienced any disruptions whatsoever on the part of federal or state law enforcement related to this issue. We remain in constant contact with law enforcement agencies and will notify local superintendents should any new guidance or directives be issued by law enforcement.
This comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order removing restrictions on ICE agents from entering schools and churches. Immigration attorney Kimberley Fasking says she fears ICE raids could violate a student’s rights. An exception does allow officers to conduct a raid only if they have a warrant from a judge. Despite this, Fasking still has worries.
“Not so much that ICE will go out and do that regularly, but because that makes people fearful to take their children to school,” Fasking said.“We’ve had clients who said: ‘I’m scared to take my children to school, should I keep them at home?’, And I tell them absolutely not, do not keep your children home. You don’t want them to be scared, you don’t want their minds to be disrupted,” Fasking said.
