Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

I have undergrads - teaching MA students would be a mess.
But Iβm doing ~13 handwritten closed book assessments. Some multi choice/matching quizzes, some reflection short essays, depending on the content. No other exams or assignments except one group presentation

And if they had an ounce of knowledge of education policy and finance theyβd know that it does not work that way at allβ¦ certainly not for cities heavily reliant on per-pupil state funding!

Chelsea school enrollment drops as ICE cracks down on Mass.
Hundreds of students have left Chelsea public schools this year, as families exit a community β and a state β thatβs become a prime target for immigration enforcement.
Trump & ICE are terrorizing our communities to the point that students are too afraid to go to school. Absolutely shameful.
Criminalizing immigrant families does nothing to keep our communities safe, and our students, parents, & educators deserve better.

Massachusetts folks: Regular reminder to please call LUCE at 617-370-5023 if you suspect ICE is in your area. Even if you see someone get snatched, call and report vehicle details and plate numbers. Cataloging vehicles used by ICE can make future verification and warning easier.

I was interviewed by @wbur.org about this really critical issue - border policy and ICE has caused a 300-student drop (5%) in Chelsea Public Schools' enrollment, which could mean losing $6 million in state funding next year. We desperately need the state to use Fair Share funding to fill this gap.

According to @massgovernor.bsky.social Healey, the Democratic Party is all about cutting taxes. What world is she living in? This is why we fail and the GOP keeps cutting into our numbers.
Meanwhile when we come up short what gets cut is programs helping low and middle income families. π‘
