1. El Trauma y el Miedo en los Estudiantes.
Las redadas generan un ambiente de terror que afecta profundamente la salud mental y el bienestar de los niños, independientemente de su estatus migratorio. La presencia de agentes armados en sus lugares de estudio deja cicatrices emocionales duraderas.
- Listen. Ice raids in schools can be disruptive and traumatic for young students. This can scar them forever. Anyone can see that.
- No place is safe from immigration raids. Schools, churches and hospitals no longer off limits. For children this is traumatic. They wont be able to learn worried about whether ice or the school resource officer will grab them or parents.
- Increasing topic amongst clients today educating their black and brown kids about ice raids at their elementary, middle and high school. The kids are scared.
- The ice raids wont just traumatize vulnerable immigrant children. Every child will be a ptsd victim of armed thugs showing up in their classrooms, dragging out some of their friends -- whom they never see again.
2. El Rol de las Escuelas y los Educadores.
El personal educativo y los distritos escolares se ven forzados a crear planes de contingencia para proteger a los estudiantes. Muchos educadores expresan su compromiso de defender a los niños, convirtiendo las escuelas en una línea de defensa frente a las acciones gubernamentales.
- So our school system is teaching staff what to do to protect kids when ice raids start. Ice is allowed to come into schools and terrorize kids and take kids away . Think about that.
- Teachers and other school staff have been making plans for what happens if ice raids schools, and have had to coordinate with parents on safety plans in case of raids splitting apart families.
- Public schools try to protect students from trump immigration raids - a recent move by trump allows immigration authorities to conduct raids at schools. Multiple school districts have pledged to complicate the efforts.
- My school district just sent out a huge memorandum about how to handle ice raids coming to our schools. This is so beyond f. These are children. Teachers, ferpa supersedes all eos and state policies.
3. Contexto Político y Críticas al Gobierno.
Los testimonios sitúan las redadas en el contexto de políticas gubernamentales específicas, criticando la eliminación de protecciones para "lugares sensibles" como escuelas y hospitales. Se percibe como una táctica cruel diseñada para infundir miedo.
- One thing that is not being brought up enough about these ice raids is that the current administration has taken away the sensitive location policy. Meaning ice can perform raids at schools and take away innocent children.
- This is just so heartless. By targeting schools for immigration enforcement, this administration is destroying that sense of safety who in a classroom is a criminal? rep. Nydia velázquez on trumps school-focused ice raids.
- It is chilling that trump has ice agents raiding public schools, churches, and hospitals, seizing suspected undocumented immigrants and their children. Sounds like nazi germany!
- Apparently trump has given ice carte blanche to go into vulnerable areas and perform immigration raids. This includes hospitals and schools. As someone who works at a school with a large hispanic population, and as a human being with basic decency and empathy, i am beyond furious.
4. Respuesta y Resistencia de la Comunidad.
Padres, activistas y miembros de la comunidad se movilizan para proteger a las familias afectadas. El miedo a las redadas provoca ausentismo escolar y una sensación generalizada de inseguridad, lo que lleva a acciones de resistencia y a un llamado a la protección de los derechos de todos los niños.
- Parents can be fearful of sending their children to schools due to gun violence now ice raids. Pathetic.
- Since the announcement of planned raids, all of their school programs are suffering from low attendance because families are scared of potential ice enforcement.their funding for these programs is tied to specific attendance metrics.
- I wrote an email to my school board asking them to refuse to allow ice in the local schools, now that trump says raids on schools are okay. You might want to do the same.
- Any parents out there, check with your school district to find out what protocol they have in place for these ice raids. They traumatize everyone, not just the targeted families.
