INTRODUCTION
Donald Trump’s reckless rescission of the “sensitive locations” guidance has unleashed a wave of fear among immigrant families, stripping away critical protections that kept ICE out of schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Schools, long regarded as safe havens for learning and growth, are now at risk of becoming battlegrounds of fear and enforcement.
The Safe Schools for Every Student campaign arms Indivisible groups with the tools to demand that local school boards take a stand and adopt policies that keep schools safe for all students, no matter their immigration status.
This guide — adapted from the National Education Association’s Guidance on Immigration Issues — lays out a comprehensive plan for action, helping Indivisible groups safeguard immigrant children in their communities. With detailed steps, legal insights, model policies, and ready-to-use outreach materials, this campaign provides a framework to challenge ICE’s overreach, empower school staff, and protect families. Let’s turn fear into action and make our schools safe again.
