Trump's immigration crackdown leaves some families weighing the risk of sending kids to school

As President Donald Trump cracks down on immigrants, families are worried about sending children to school due to new policies allowing arrests at schools, churches, and hospitals.
The new policy reverses previous guidance that restricted immigration enforcement in sensitive locations, affecting an estimated 733,000 school-aged children in the U.S. Illegally.
Educators are reassuring immigrant parents that schools are safe, despite fears of deportation and immigration raids, which have left many families anxious and confused.
Some parents, like Iris Gonzalez, view schools as one of the last safe places for their children, while others, like Carmen, fear returning to their home countries due to violence.
