Three students attending Mountain View High School were ordered to leave the U.S. midway through the fall semester. School staff say it marks the first time in recent memory that any student had to leave the district because of involuntary deportation.
Daniella Quinones confirmed that three students enrolled in the district's English Language Development program have left the school after immigration court judges ruled they had to leave the country.
Despite serving some of the most affluent communities in the Bay Area, the Mountain View-Los Altos District is also home to high-needs students who have recently arrived in the country. The vast majority of the 50 students enrolled in remedial classes through the district's English language development (ELD) department are recent arrivals from Central America, many of whom are seeking asylum, Quinones said. It's a big change that has taken place in the district over the last five years.
"The types of services these students need are beyond academic support, they need mental health support, housing support, financial support," Quinones said. "These students are facing tremendous adversities in coming to this country."
For the most part, the students are from countries including Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, with some hailing from Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, said Sarah Block, a longtime teacher and ELD instructor.
Many of those young clients are fleeing violence from their home countries in Mexico and Central America, she said, and recent changes in case law and federal immigration policies have made it increasingly difficult for them to remain in the U.S.
"There have been initiatives that the Trump administration has put in place in order to make the lives of unaccompanied minors more challenging, when it comes to trying to make sure that they are as safe and protected as possible," Murthy said.

Why only three?
I’m quite sure there are more.

We don’t need them and their problems.
Good. Hope many, many more are on the way home. Their own country needs them more.
Well, bye.
Omg! Clutch those pearls!!!
Good, they should “lose” a bunch more to deportation!
Trump eases classroom overcrowding?
How many of these children are over 20 years old? These phony refugees dont need no stinkeen birth certificates, while American children have to have birth certificates to play Little League baseball.
“Many of those young ‘clients’ are fleeing violence from their home countries in Mexico and Central America ...”
and bringing that culture here.
“My country sucks” is not a valid asylum claim as that applies to much of the world.
There is NO international human right to enter the United States!
Amen. The leftards are always ranting about how violent America is, so why should violence in Latin America be more important? These programs are just job security for left wing virtue signalers.
Some of these refugees especially from Central America don’t even speak Spanish. They are fluent only in their native Indian tongue.
My sister-in-law who taught English as a second language was asked to communicate with these natives. She said I don’t have anything in common with them, not their language. not their culture, nothing.
Much better.
Bleeding heart leftist losers love illegal alien invaders. They want to murder USA babies. What nitwits.
“”Despite serving some of the most affluent communities in the Bay Area””
And WHY are they in that area? Hardly the type of community where they would usually settle. Would make more sense if they were in the L.A., area or even the valley - either San Joaquin or San Fernando, doesn’t matter but the bay area? Doesn’t make sense! I assume they live with their parents so what are their parents doing there? Are they placed by democrat organizations for democrat votes?
Quinones is the principal but you have to go to the article to even discover that. IS she a citizen?
While mass deportations will help economics, the main thing required to help improve the children's education would be to mass deport or fire all the current teachers/propagandists...
Without getting rid of every one of those communist ideologues teaching in the government schools, a "better" education is only a fantasy...
I bet the grade curve went up.
Cry me a f##king river.
Hmmmm - never saw how they were all model students and never caused any trouble....maybe they decided it wasn’t relevant...
