The amount of trauma ICE is inflicting on kids

  •  Last week, K-12 Dive looked at the trauma to children being caused by ICE. 
    “In many communities across the country, children are facing the terror of wondering if their parents will be there when they come home or be apprehended at school drop-offs,” she said.

    While the article goes on to talk about school districts setting up protocols and offer support for families, the real answer, of course, lies elsewhere.

  • Among the responses is the walking school buses being set up in Washington, D.C. so that children may safely be escorted to school without their parents being endangered by taking them there. The Washington Post (that's a gift link) has a look at that today. 

    ...in this corner of Northwest Washington — home to families from El Salvador, Venezuela and Ethiopia — the news of arrest after arrest only seemed to create anxiety about heading outside. So families and their neighbors are working to create envelopes of safety.
