US EditionTeachers Sue over Trump’s Immigration Crackdown, Saying Students Are Staying Home
Teacher unions argue immigration arrests near schools and churches have increased anxiety and decreased participation among immigrant students, citing violations of longstanding protections.
- Two major teachers’ unions, advocating for millions of education professionals, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in April 2025, challenging immigration arrests carried out near schools and places of worship.
- The lawsuit challenges the administration's rescinding of a memo that barred immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools and places of worship.
- Teachers report increased anxiety and absenteeism among immigrant students, with enrollment dropping sharply in English classes and parents reluctant to register for special education.
- Officials stated that individuals involved in criminal activity would no longer find refuge from arrest in schools and churches across the United States, while educators expressed concern about law enforcement confronting suspects in school parking areas.
- The lawsuit implies the crackdown terrifies children and teachers, causing some students to drop out and suggesting a need to maintain safe, welcoming classrooms.
