Abstract

The article focuses on how heightened federal immigration enforcement is disrupting schools nationwide by increasing fear, anxiety, and instability among students from immigrant families, with measurable effects on attendance and learning. Topics include survey findings on student anxiety and absenteeism, disparities in impact across urban, suburban, rural, and high-poverty districts, and the uneven ways schools are responding through counseling, information-sharing, and enforcement protocols.
